ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court has remarked that keeping in view the lack of seriousness on the part of FBR in pursuing the cases, it seems that some nomads are running FBR and tax department.
The court further observed, “The concerned authorities have no interest in the cases and their interest lies somewhere else rather than their job. There is no improvement despite court’s orders.”
A three-member apex court bench presided over by Justice Ijaz Afzal took up for hearing a suo motu notice case on non-pursuing of cases by FBR yesterday.
During the course of hearing, Justice Ijaz Afzal Khan remarked, “No legal assistance is provided by the FBR to any court forum.”
Justice Ijazul Ahsan remarked that most of the cases pertained to FBR but its counsels were not prepared to give arguments.
Additional Attorney General Rana Waqar said that number of cases was increasing day by day while steps were being taken to improve matters.
The court, while seeking a reply from attorney general, adjourned the hearing after Eid holidays.
