LAHORE: The Lahore High Court bench also allowed the NAB to submit reply by July 27 in response to a petition of PML-N MNA Mohsin Shahnawaz Ranjha challenging an inquiry against him of assets beyond means.

Ranjha through a counsel stated that the NAB had been issuing call-up notices to him in the impugned inquiry. He said the petitioner made several requests to the bureau in writing to furnish him details of the complaint and allegations against him, however, nothing had been provided to him.

The counsel said all assets and properties owned by the petitioner were declared in the tax documents. He alleged that the bureau initiated the inquiry against the petitioner on political consideration.

He therefore asked the court to set aside the call-up notices and declare the inquiry as illegal and being initiated without lawful.
