The defence counsel asked investigation officer if he had letter of completion of investigation against Dar. The investigation officer replied that he did not have the letter of completion of investigations. Due to non-availability of letter, the court adjourned the case till October 16 and ordered NAB to produce the letter on the next hearing.
The NAB filed a supplementary reference against Dar on February 26 last year. The reference comprises seven volumes and includes 24 witnesses and three co-accused namely former president of National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) Saeed Ahmed, Mansoor Raza Rizvi and Naeem Mehmood, both directors of Dar's companies. During the hearing, the three co-accused were present in the court room.
A reference was filed by the Bureau against Dar following the Supreme Court's July 28, 2017 verdict in the Panama Papers case. It may be mentioned here that the Accountability Court declared Dar a proclaimed offender due to his continuous absence from the court during the hearings of the case.
