KARACHI: The United States Consulate General Karachi, and other nominated accused of the US Army reverse cargo case raised objections and have refused to appear before Collector Adjudication-II Chaudhary Muhammad Javed.
The suspects were issued notices but they did not appear before the adjudicating authorities to explain their role in the case. According to sources, after transfers and postings of various officials by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), the US Consulate and other accused objected to the posting of Collector Adjudication-II Chaudhary Muhammad Javed.
It may be mentioned here that Collector Adjudication-II Chaudhary Muhammad Javed was the person who detected the US Army reverse cargo case at the time when he was holding the post of Additional Director Transit Trade-Karachi, sources added.
According to sources, Collector Adjudication, after their objections, written a letter to the FBR, informing it about the objection raised by the nominated accused of the case.
“These people (accused) are of the opinion that Chaudhary Muhammad Javed will influence the case as the case was prepared by him when he was Additional Director,” the sources further said.
Sources further said that Collector Chaudhary Muhammad Javed requested the board either to transfer the case to the Adjudication-I Collectorate or transfer him so that the much-awaited case of the US Army reverse cargo be disposed of and those involved be brought to justice.
