PESHAWAR: Issuing a stay order, a single-member Peshawar High Court bench on Thursday stopped the provincial anti-corruption establishment (ACE) from arresting the opposition Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s MPA, Jamshed Mohmand, during an ongoing inquiry into the alleged corruption in the award of certain contracts of development projects by the Takhtbhai tehsil municipal administration in Mardan district.
Justice Mohammad Naeem Anwar issued notices to the ACE director and its assistant director in Mardan seeking their comments about the lawmaker’s petition within a fortnight.
He fixed Jan 14 for the next hearing into the petition with directions for the ACE not to arrest him until that date.
