SC orders to arrest prime accused in NICL scam
Justice Ijaz-ul-Ahsan asked why Mohsin Habib has not been arrested yet.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday has ordered to arrest main accused Mohsin Habib in Rs1.68 billion National Insurance Company Limited (NICL) scam.
During the hearing, Justice Ijaz-ul-Ahsan asked why Mohsin Habib has not been arrested yet as he was involved in the biggest scandal.
The special prosecutor told that Mohsin is in Pakistan upon which, acting Chief Justice Sheikh Azmat Saeed expressed resentment over National Accountability Bureau (NAB) team for not able to detain the accused so far.
Subsequently, Justice Ijaz directed to present the report after apprehending Mohsin Habib and adjourned the hearing for indefinite time period.
Earlier on March 7, 2019, Justice Gulzar had pronounced that NAB is not working properly and asked if there is any department that can perform its audit. Mohsin Habib is moving freely, 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.
