ISLAMABAD: National Accountability Bureau Chairman Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal on Wednesday said that the bureau had filed references for 96 out of 179 mega corruption cases in accountability courts. The remaining corruption cases would also see their logical conclusion as per law soon, he said while addressing a ceremony held in connection with the distribution of cheques among affected persons of the corruption cases. Javed Iqbal said that corruption was a curse and the bureau was committed to taking action as per law against the big fishes. People, he said, had invested billions of rupees in private cooperative housing societies but unfortunately neither they were allotted plots nor their hard-earned investment was returned. The bureau had now fulfilled its promise by recovering a looted amount of 175 affected persons from nine housing societies.
