NAB court rejected the release plea of Khawaja brothers

The Paragon Society is private and the private company’s case falls under the jurisdiction of the SECP: Khawaja’s lawyer

LAHORE: An accountability court rejected the pleas of Muslim League-N leaders Khawaja Saad and Salman Rafique in the Paragon Housing Society case.

The Paragon Housing case was heard in the accountability court of Lahore in which the NAB presented the Khwaja brothers to the court.

During the hearing, the Khwaja Brother’s lawyer argued that the Paragon Society is private, so the NAB cannot investigate because the private company’s case falls under the jurisdiction of the SECP, NAB investigated illegally and filed a reference.

Khwaja Brothers’ lawyer requested the court to withdraw the crime and release the accused.

On the request of the Khwaja Brothers’ lawyer, the NAB prosecutor took the stand that the accused had been charged, after which the court could not hear any such petition, so the court ordered the dismissal of the petition.
Judge of the NAB Court, Jawad al-Hassan, dismissed release plea after hearing the parties arguments on the Khwaja Brothers case.
