ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court was approached on Monday for the early hearing of an appeal against Khusro Bakhtiar, the federal Minister for Industries and Production, and Punjab’s Finance Minister Hashim Jawan Bakht in a corruption case.
The application, moved by Advocate Muhammad Ahsan Abid, sought fixing of his original appeal at an early date, preferably next week, against a verdict given by the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Oct 20 last year that rejected his plea against the two ministers.

At least 14 sugar mills have so far been issued a ‘final notice’ by the FIA Lahore alone besides there being a large number of FIRs registered against various different actors of what is now known as the ‘sugar mafia’.
Although Tareen is said to be the major player in the sugar business, Shahbaz Sharif’s family is on top of the FIA s hit-list on which only Tareen until recently prominently featured on.
In its FIR, the FIA has accused Shahbaz Sharif and his sons of having hidden and laundered Rs. 25 billion from 2008 to 2018 mostly from ‘extraneous sources’ through fake accounts opened and operated in the name of low-wage employees (peons & clerks) of his sugar mill.
LAHORE: Widening its probe into the multi-billion sugar scam, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has initiated action against two mills in which federal minister Khusro Bakhtiar and his family members have major shares.
The Lahore FIA on Thursday summoned the heads of accounts and sales of the Two-Star Sugar Mills and Alliance Sugar Mills, owned by Rahim Yar Khan sugar group related to Mr Bhaktiar and his family members for April 15 and 16, respectively.
“The investigation against Mr Bakhtiar and his family members’ related sugar mills has been launched after their alleged links with the sugar pricing manipulators (satta-agents) surfaced,” an official told Dawn.
