The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Wednesday directed the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to file its reference against Sindh Assembly Speaker Agha Siraj Durrani by June 11. The NAB investigator told the court on Wednesday that the bureau chairman had given the approval to file a reference against Durrani and other accused. The reference will be filed against the accused on Thursday. The investigative officer further told the court that that investigation against Durrani and others had been completed. “We have traced 35 cars and properties worth millions owned by the accused. Durrani used his power for illegal appointments, accumulating assets beyond means and embezzlement of funds.” Durrani’s lawyer told the court that his client was in court and his bail petition should be heard. “How can we hear the bail petition if nothing has been brought forward,” the Sindh High Court chief justice remarked. “On what basis will we give a verdict? Once the reference has been filed, we will hear it.”
