Supreme Court on Thursday handed over the ongoing inquiry in Punjab Bank’s loan scam to DG FIA, and adjourned the hearing to June 11.

The three-member bench comprising Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, Justice Ghulam Rabbani and Justice Khalil ur Rehman Ramday resumed the hearing of Rs 9 billion Bank of Punjab loan scam case.

During the hearing of the case the court summoned Naveed Ahsan, Chairman National Accountability Bureau (NAB), and Tariq Khosa, Director General Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), when an application was filed against Mushrraf-era Minister for State, Rais Munir, for taking loan of Rs 112 million against fake guarantees.

The CJ observed that the scam should be investigated transparently as the law minister and few other senior lawyers have been accused of taking bribes in the case, while it also involves a federal secretary.

“The scam involves more than 9 billion rupees and should be taken seriously and transparent investigation must be conducted,” CJ was quoted as saying.

Khosa informed the bench that the government or any other authority could not interfere in the investigations being carried out by the NAB or FIA. He said he needs guarantee for his security, nor for his service, when the court asked him to lead the investigation.

Later, DG FIA agreed to take the reins of scam’s investigation upon which the court ordered Chairman NAB to make a summary in this regard which he presented before the bench.
