RAWALPINDI - A Division Bench of Lahore High Court (LHC) Rawalpindi Tuesday rejected a petition of Pakistan People's Party (PPP) leader Naheed Khan filed to stop National Accountability Bureau (NAB) from pursuing a case against her after nobody from the petitioner's side appeared in the court on the last many hearings. The bench comprising Justice Abdul Shakoor Paracha and Justice Imtiaz Rasheed Siddiqui dismissed the petition of former political secretary of Benazir Bhutto against NAB after her lawyers Dr Babar Awan and Asghar Rana did not appear in the court on the last many dates of the case. Naheed Khan moved the high court in 2004 when the NAB initiated legal proceedings against her for having assets beyond her income. The proceedings against the petitioner were stopped by NAB after she moved LHC but the court dismissed her petition for not pursuing the case. Another bench comprising Jusitce Mazhar Hussain Minhas and Justice Chaudhry Mehmood Akhtar converted death sentence of a man into life term and acquitted co-accused in a murder case. The bench upheld the life imprisonment of Abdul Ghaffar for murdering his brother-in-law Altaf Hussain in the area of Pind Dadan Khan Police on January 24, 2000 over the issue of custody of the children of accused after he broke up with his wife. The court, however, acquitted the co-accused Talib Hussain who allegedly help the killer in the killing as no evidence was found against him. In another case, the same bench upheld the death sentence of a man after he was convicted by the session court in the case of dacoity and murder in the area of Pindi Gheb Police. The convict Muhammad Ali killed Perveen in 2003 while committing robbery at her house. An other accused in the case Qaisar Shehzad is still at large and has been declared proclaimed offender.
