“Take Nimr [Majeed] into custody, and transfer Anwar Majeed to Adiala Jail, he [Anwar Majeed] is dictating all of Sindh via his phone,” Justice Nisar suggested.
ISLAMABAD: The Chief Justice of Pakistan, Justice Saqib Nisar, has Monday given suggestion to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to nab again Nimr son of Anwar Majeed in fake banks accounts case so that you would get information from him.
Anwar Majeed, Hussain Lawai and other are already in the clutches of federal agencies and are under investigation in fake accounts case.
The chief justice headed by the three-member bench of the Supreme Court resumed hearing a case against fake accounts that were used to launder over Rs 100 billion out of the country.
Additional Attorney General Nayyar Rizvi informed the court that the joint investigation team (JIT) has submitted a report report on Omni Group’s bank accounts and it is still probing the matter. The head of the JIT requested for a month to submit final report of the case.
Expressing his satisfaction over the JIT’s progress, Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar said that he realised the JIT’s task was not easy but at the same time, the court could not adjourn the case hearing for an indefinite time.
In his remarks, the chief justice observed that the securities loaned out to different banks were no longer present in the banks. At the same time, he hinted that Nimr Majeed, the son of Omni Group chairman Anwar Majeed, be arrested and included in the investigation.
Where did Omni Group’s securities disappear, the top judge asked Nimr. To this, Nimr replied that he was not aware of the matter, as he looked after the sugar mills only.
“Take Nimr [Majeed] into custody, and transfer Anwar Majeed to Adiala Jail, he [Anwar Majeed] is dictating all of Sindh via his phone,” Justice Nisar suggested.
Nimr Majeed was arrested by the FIA last month, but was released a day later on the court’s orders.
The top judge remarked that the court would summon representatives from the concerned banks to understand the situation better.
“We will end the case if the public’s money is returned to them,” Justice Nisar observed.
The court also issued notice to Inspector General Sindh Police in the case.
