The NAB has filed a petition in Islamabad High Court against the decision of an accountability court. The accountability watchdog pleaded to the high court to declare the trial court’s decision as void. Babar Awan and Justice (r) Riaz Kiani are main accused and the decision of their acquittal would have an adverse impact on the trial, the NAB petition said.

In March, last year, Awan and the others were indicted in the case for causing delay in according approval to the project, which resulted in billions of rupees loss to the national exchequer.
