NAB told to file supplementary reference in illegal allotment of welfare plot case

The NAB prosecutor Sohail Arif requested the Accountability Court Judge Muhammad Bashir to grant them more time for filling of supplementary reference, to which the court agreed.

On the other hand, two accused including Muhammad Hussain Syed, former administrator Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) and Matanat Ali Khan, former metropolitan commissioner KMC, filed acquittal application before the court in light of NAB amendment ordinance 2019. The court issued notice to NAB with the request to acquittal application.

The NAB has claimed that the accused persons misused their authority and allegedly allotted the government land at Nehr-e-Khayyam Karachi to M/S Friends Associates which incurred a loss of PKR 3 Billion to the national exchequer. Fake accounts were used for the payment of the plots.
