KARACHI - A Sindh High Court (SHC) judge on Tuesday refused to hear a plea against Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for conducting an inquiry against National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD). The high court’s judge Justice Mubeen Lakho refused to conduct a hearing of the case due to some personal affairs. The court ordered to continue stay order and adjourned the hearing till March 3. It issued notices to Advocate General Sindh and Attorney General of Pakistan. The FIA investigation officer had been asked to submit a progress report of up-to-date and inquiry record. The hospital management stated in the plea that NICVD is a provincial asset. “FIA’s inquiry in the institution is illegal, so it should be stopped,” the hospital management stated. The FIA’s counsel argued that NICVD is a federal hospital, but massive corruption is being conducted in the hospital so the high-level inquiry is needed to prove it.
