ISLAMABAD - The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on Tuesday once again summoned the Registrar Supreme Court for not allowing conduct of audit from the last many years.

The Chairman PAC maintained that like rest of the institutions, the annual audit of the apex court accounts shall be carried but it is not being conducted from the last ten years due to the non-cooperative behaviour.
