A Lahore accountability court cleared Prime Minister Ahad Cheema’s advisor over assets beyond means on Friday. The reserved verdict was announced by Judge Malik Ali Zulqarnain Awan of the Accountability Court. Cheema’s appeal was accepted by the court, which cleared him of any asset beyond means reference. During the prior hearing, the NAB court had postponed making a decision about Cheema’s appeal. Cheema was previously found not guilty in the assets beyond means case by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). Such a reference was inadmissible against Cheema, according to the NAB assessment. According to the Bureau, the adviser’s assets were commensurate with his income. His purported offshore businesses used their own earnings to build properties.
