The Supreme Court on Monday declared the report submitted by National Accountability Bureau (NAB) pertaining to the rental power case as unsatisfactory and ordered the bureau to submit another report by Oct 16. A three-member bench, headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry heard the case. NAB Prosecutor General KK Agha told the apex court that Rs 2 billion had been recovered and the recovery of Rs 3 billion was in the pipeline. The chief justice remarked that if investigations were not handled properly, the SC would initiate contempt proceedings against the NAB. The apex court rejected NAB’s plea for a two month extension to carry on investigations. Justice Jawwad S Khawaja said NAB was advocating people who had plundered tax-payer’s money.
