A two-member bench of Supreme Court, headed by Justice Azmat Saeed, is seized with Asghar Khan case relating to the implementation of its Oct 19, 2012 verdict.
The court ordered Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to submit a complete report.
“It is the verdict of this court and we will implement it,” Justice Azmat Saeed said.
Earlier, the FIA in a reply submitted in the Supreme Court pleaded again for winding up the case due to insufficient evidence.
The investigation agency observed that how could a case be filed in any court due to ‘insufficient evidence’.
The report said that the investigation about benami accounts and statements of key witnesses were recorded. To take the case forward and for further trial sufficient evidence could not be attained, FIA report said.
It is not possible to initiate the case at any court due to insufficient evidence, the agency’s report said.
