NICL scam: Supreme Court reprimands NAB over lack of progress.

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Justice Gulzar Ahmed on Wednesday reprimanded the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) over lack of progress in the National ‎Insurance Corporation Limited (NICL) land scam case.

The hearing was conducted by the Supreme Court. Justice Gulzar Ahmed inquired from the NAB authorities that why Mohsin Habib, the prime suspect, was not arrested.

Justice Gulzar pronounced the NAB is not working properly and asked if there is any department that can perform its audit. Mohsin Habib is moving freely and the NAB would have served him with tea and cakes, he said. 

The NAB prosecutor argued that it was the apex court’s direction to not arrest Mohsin Habib, upon which Justice Ijaz-ul-Ahsan replied the order was given just for two days.
