Earlier, counsel of FIA requested for seven days remand but court after keeping its verdict in reserved for a while announced three days remand. Moonis was produced in strict security measures while his supporters, PML workers were present in the court premises in a good number. They chanted salgons in favour of Moonis.
The applicant submitted in his application that all the allegations against him were baseless and Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had not any proof of his involvement in the scam. However, FIA asserted before the court that FIA had evidence and witnesses against the accused and FIA in its investigation found that Moonis was involved in the land scam.
FIA said that Rs 320 million were transferred from NICL to some bogus accounts and during the investigation it was discovered that the said amount was later transferred to account of Moonis. Moonis however, contended that a case was registered on October 12, 2010, under section 409, 420 and 468 of PPC against Mohsin Habib Warriach by the Federal
Investigation Agency on statement of then Secretary Commerce Zafar Mehmood relating to purchase of land by NICL at Mouza Toor Warriach. He submitted that according to the case management, the NICL had paid price to the selling party without getting the land mutated in its favour.
Moonis submitted that after the commencement of investigation, the land comprising 803 kanals was returned to the seller who deposited entire sale price of Rs 1,686,300,000. Moonis alleged that Additional Director General (ADG) FIA Zafar Ahmed had an enmity with his family and to give vent to his malice, the ADG created a fake evidence to implicate him in the said two cases.
