ISLAMABAD: In view of the constitutional immunity of the head of the state, an accountability court in Islamabad on Tuesday halted its proceedings against incumbent President Asif Ali Zardari in the Toshakhana vehicle reference. Approving his request, accountability court judge Justice Javed Rana halted the proceedings against the president in the Toshakhana case. The anti-graft body, in its report, had requested an accountability court in Islamabad to acquit the former premier. In March 2020, NAB filed the Toshakhana reference in an accountability court against the three political leaders. According to the accountability bureau, former president Zardari and former premier Sharif obtained cars from the Toshakana by paying 15% of the price of the cars.
