NAB prosecutor told the court he has not been indicted so far. The petition in connection with cancellation of the bail was also filed four year back.
Justice Qazi Amin remarked on the occasion NAB spends several years in making reference. Should we send the accused to jail for 10 years.
NAB prosecutor took the plea indicting the accused is court’s job. If the accused is indicted then we are sitting well prepared to present the witnesses. Appointing judges is mandate of the government and the respective chief justice.

No allegation of financial malpractice stands against the former chairman CDA. What can we do if there is burden of cases on the court.
