HANIF ABBASI MOVES LHC:
Hanif Abbasi moved the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Thursday after the Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) sent him a fresh notice for detailed financial records as part of the watchdog’s investigation in the 2012 ephedrine case.
In his petition challenging the notice, Hanif Abbasi’s lawyer has taken the stance that the investigation in the case against the defendant has nearly wrapped up, with just one witness statement left to be recorded. Thus, to reopen the case will only serve to disrupt Abbasi and his family’s life.
