RAWALPINDI (APP) The Accountability Court administrative judge Wamiq Javed Monday dismissed the plea of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) seeking restoration of three pending corruption references against Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) Chief Mian Nawaz Sharif, Punjab Chief Minister Mian Shahbaz Sharif and family. The court held as NAB plea for reopening the references was not signed by the NAB chairman therefore cases could not be reopened. The NAB counsel had pleaded for revival of pending references including default on payment of loan by Ittefaq Foundries, default on payment of tax by Hudabia Paper Mills and Raiwind assets. The other NAB plea was that as the accused were now in the country they could be proceeded against. When Mr Sharif and members of his family went to Saudi Arabia under a deal with Gen (r) Pervez Musharraf regime, NAB on April 12, 2001 pleaded for getting the cases deferred for an indefinite period. In the Ittefaq Foundry Reference, Mian Nawaz Sharif, Abbas Sharif, Mukhtar Hassan, Kamal Qureshi and a couple of other people were accused of securing and misusing loans, causing a loss of millions of rupees to the exchequer. The accused in the Raiwind Assets Reference are Mian Nawaz Sharif, Mian Shahbaz Sharif, their father late Mian Sharif, mother Shamim Akhtar and some other members of the family. According to the available record, the accused in the Hudabia Paper Mills case are Mian Nawaz Sharif, Mian Shahbaz Sharif, Mian Abbas Sharif, Hussain Nawaz, Hamza Shahbaz, Haroon Pasha and Senator Ishaq Dar. They were accused of securing huge amounts of money as loans in the name of Hudabia Paper Mills and later using them.
