The prosecutor for the anti-graft agency, Sardar Muzaffar Abbasi, objected to the fresh application before the indictment, saying they were asking for time to prepare their own petition.
“I am ready to present arguments on it, why aren’t they? We have not filed any supplementary reference in the money laundering case,” Abbasi questioned.
“The case was transferred from Karachi so that he [Zardari] can file a reference after his interrogation,” he maintained.
After hearing arguments from both sides, accountability judge Azam Khan adjourned the hearing till Sept 17.
Park Lane reference
Later, a hearing of the supplementary Park Lane reference began in which the former president and other accused were present.
Following a brief hearing, the court adjourned further proceedings, as well as Zardari’s indictment, until Sept 17.
