ISLAMABAD: The National Assembly’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on Monday sought a complete record of Justice Mazahir Naqvi’s assets.
The news comes after the National Assembly last week requested the PAC to conduct a special audit of Justice Naqvi’s accounts and sources of income in response to charges of corruption against him. This request came amid an ongoing dispute between parliament and the judiciary.
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has also accused him of being “biassed” against the party. Numerous references have been made against Naqvi before the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) for alleged wrongdoing and possessing assets that were beyond his means.
The 13 members of the Public Accounts Committee approved the scrutiny of Justice Mazahir Naqvi’s assets and income while Senator Mohsin Aziz opposed the inquiry.
The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the National Assembly had earlier summoned the registrar of the Supreme Court (SC) on May 16 in order to undertake an audit of the supreme court from 2010 to 2021.
