The court expressed anger over incompletion of the inquiry for the last two years. It said the suspects had nothing to do with the issues facing your department. “You should not punish others because of your personal issues.”
The high court said it was not easy for the people to come for the hearing for two years. “We have been hearing the NAB cases for seven months. We are witnessing how many cases are delayed.”
The court adjourned the hearing after giving him three weeks time for investigation.
