ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) on Monday slammed the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), saying it randomly arrests people, and files a reference against them after a year-and-a-half.
The apex court s comments came during a hearing of a fake accounts case, where the SC asked the suspects to reapproach the high court regarding the matter. During the hearing, the defendant s lawyer told the court that his client had been incarcerated for nearly three years, while his accomplice had been granted bail.
Justice Qazi Amin said the matter of charge frame was between the court and the suspect, as it said that NAB had no jurisdiction over it. Further, Justice Yahya Afridi said bail was not sought on the basis of hardship in the bail applications as the suspects have sought bail on merit and medical grounds.
