ISLAMABAD, Oct 2 (TNS): Finance Minister Ishaq Dar on Monday challenged his indictment by an accountability court hearing in a corruption reference against him in Islamabad High Court (IHC).
The corruption reference, pertaining to Dar’s owning assets that are disproportionate to his known sources of income, was filed by the National Accountability Bureau in the light of the Supreme Court’s July 28 judgment in the Panama Papers case.
Dar, in his petition, stated that he was indicted by the accountability court without giving him required mandated time. He requested the IHC to suspend the indictment proceedings.

The finance minister said that as he should be given time to file his response on the case, the IHC should order the accountability court to suspend its trial proceedings until a decision on his petition.
During the hearing, Dar’s counsel asked the accountability court to be granted seven days for perusing the reference against his client but the judge denied the request, observing that the court has to complete the trial in six months as per the apex court’s directions.
