The Supreme Court on Wednesday adjourned the hearing of the Bank of Punjab scam case for two weeks after directing Sheikh Haris’s lawyer to submit reply in the Registrar Office regarding his offer of returning the money.
A two-member bench of the Supreme Court comprising Justice Tariq Pervez and Justice Nasirul Mulk heard the Bank of Punjab scam case.
During the hearing Punjab Advocate General Khawaja Haris requested the court to hear Sheikh Haris’s petition. Advocate On Record SM Khattak appeared in the court due to unavailability of Tariq Rahim, lawyer of Sheikh Haris. He told the court that the committee is doing its job and Sheikh Haris is ready to return the money.
Justice Nasirul Mulk asked the lawyer of Sheikh Haris to submit a reply in this regard in the Registrar Office.
The court later adjourned the hearing of the case for two weeks due to unavailability of the Sheikh Haris’s lawyer.
