ISLAMABAD: Supreme Court (SC) has issued orders for restoration of
previous investigation team in Hajj corruption case and maintained
those found hampering court’s orders will be sent to jail first and
then they will be heard.
A 6-member SC larger bench led by
Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry took up the
case for hearing Monday.
The court expressed concern over
absence of DG FIA during the hearing. The court also voiced displeasure
over violation of its orders regarding initiation of action against
investigation officer Javed Bokhari. Court said orders were issued for
taking action in 4 weeks but nothing had been done despite lapse of 2
months.
CJP remarked it seemed as if former establishment
secretary Rauf Chaudhry would have to be sent to jail “It seemed from
persistent non compliance of court’s orders that officers don’t care
for SC orders. Now those who don’t comply with orders of court will be
sent to jail first and then they will be heard. Now we will see who
don’t obey the court’s orders”, CJP remarked.
Regarding revival
of previous investigation team in Hajj corruption case the court
ordered notification about its restoration be issued today.
The court summoned secretary establishment and DG FIA and adjourned the hearing of the case. Online
