Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) former chairman Tauqir Sadiq was presented in the Accountability Court in OGRA corruption case on Saturday.
During the hearing, NAB officials made a plea that the objections raised against the reference were being removed and, therefore, they prayed for some time.
The accused Tauqir Sadiq made a submission to the court that he has already been sent to the jail, while no reference against him has been filed thus far. He complained that the NAB officials haven’t informed him of the charges or papers as they say holding against him.
The Accountability Court Judge Mohammad Bashir said that no further laxity in the case would be tolerated and ordered National Accountability Bureau (NAB) officials to file OGRA corruption case reference by February 4 and a copy of the same be given to Tauqir Sadiq. Later, the hearing was adjourned until February 4.
Tauqir Sadiq’s brother Tanvir Sadiq talking to the media said that the Supreme Court’s Justice Jawwad S Khawaja wanted the case to proceed according to his whims, which is not correct.
