SUKKUR: An ac
countability court in Sukkur on Tuesday adjourned the hearing in assets beyond means case against Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Syed Khursheed Sh
ah till August 4.
The hearing was adjourned due to no appointment of a new judge in the Sukkur ac
countability court. This is the fourth time that hearing was adjourned.
The National Ac
countability Bureau (NAB) had filed assets reference of Rs1.23 billion against Shah and 17
others last year. It has also nominated his two wives, two sons, and son-in-law in the reference.
The court had granted b
ail to Shah in December after the ac
countability bureau’s delay in filing reference against him. However, the Sindh High Court (SHC)
circuit bench, Sukkur later cancelled the bail.
