During a brief hearing of the National Insurance Company Limited (NICL) scam on Thursday, Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry fixed a contempt of court case against FIA Director General Malik Muhammad Iqbal for today (Friday), hinting that the court would decide the case on the same day without any further delay.
A three-member SC bench, also including Justice Sair Ali and Justice Ghulam Rabbani, adjourned further hearing until June 8 but decided to adjudicate upon the contempt of court case against the FIA chief today (Friday).
The chief justice asked Attorney General Maulvi Anwarul Haq whether the government had reposted former FIA Additional Director General Zafar to conduct the investigation into the NICL scam to which the attorney general said there was no progress in the matter. “Let tomorrow come, we will decide this case,” the chief justice said.
