F.P. Report

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) to hear bail petitions of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leaders Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Ahsan Iqbal on February 24, on Thursday.

Today’s hearing was adjourned without any proceeding due to non-presence of the Chief Justice of IHC Justice Athar Minallah owing to his health issues.

Former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Miftah Ismail, ex-PSO MD Imranul Haq and others are facing charges of corruption over awarding a LNG import contract allegedly at exorbitant rates in 2015, which caused a big loss to the national exchequer.

Whereas, Ahsan Iqbal has been accused of using funds of the federal government and Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) for a sports city in Narowal. He had already filed a reply to a questionnaire given to him by the bureau previously.
