He further asked about the chief minister who has approved the allocation of land for Bahria Icon Tower, Karachi.
“Why NAB is protecting the accused from the law and whether is it allowed to construct a superlative building on the state land?” Justice Amin acquired.
The NAB officials informed the court that the land of Bagh Ibn-e-Qasim was allotted for Bahria Icon Tower. Advocate Mian Rauf, lawyer of Dr. Dinshah stated that Dr. Dinshah was appointed as the advisor to the chief minister in September 2008 while the land for Bahria Icon Tower was allotted in April 2008.
