The Supreme Court is going to hear the case of National Insurance Company Limited (NICL) today.A three-member SC bench, headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, will hear the case.The court has summoned Attorney General of Pakistan Maulvi Anwarul Haq, Interior Secretary Khawaja Siddique Akbar and Federal Investigation Agency Director General Tehsin Anwar for today’s hearing.Federal Investigation Agency Additional Director General Zafar Qureshi resumed the investigation into the National Insurance Company Limited (NICL) scam case after taking charge of his office on Monday.Earlier on Saturday, he was stopped from attending his ‘first day’ in office when security officials barred him from entering the FIA building after a hoax call regarding a bomb.Qureshi was reinstated to his post last week after the Supreme Court quashed his July 4 suspension order.He was suspended by the government apparently to keep him out of the investigation into the multi-billion-rupee NICL scam which also involves Moonis Elahi, the son of former Punjab chief minister Chaudhry Pervez Elahi whose party is a partner in the PPP-led coalition government at the centre.
