ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Guarantor of finance minister Ishaq Dar in assets beyond means case has challenged accountability court’s verdict of seizure of his property in Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Saturday.
Dar’s guarantor Ahmed Ali Qaddoosi has petitioned the high court claiming that there is no element of dishonesty in absence of Dar from accountability court’s hearings and that the order to seize his property is illegal.
