NAB court to announce Nandipur case verdict on Feb 20

Author: Agencies

Accountability court on Monday has reserved its judgment on the Nandipur Power Project reference and will announce it on February 20. During the hearing, former Adviser to prime minister Imran Khan on Parliamentary Affairs Babar Awan completed arguments for his acquittal in the reference while National Accountability Bureau (NAB) prosecutor also presented his stance.

Earlier, accountability court had directed Babar Awan and former prime minister (PM) Raja Pervez Ashraf to submit bail bonds worth Rs 0.2m each.

Soon after the reference was filed, Babar Awan had resigned as Advisor to prime minister Imran Khan on parliamentary affairs and said that he had resigned from his position to prove the allegations against him as baseless.
