Babar Awan and NAB prosecutor conclude arguments in caseISLAMABAD: An accountability court in Islamabad resumed hearing in the Nandipur Power Project reference on Monday, reserving the judgment in the case which will be announced on February 20. He argued that even after he resigned as the minister, the law ministry did not approve the summaries and said such summaries were usually approved by the law secretary. “The forms were not issued due to the negligence of the ministry, which was under working Babar Awan at the time,” said the NAB prosecutor. “How can a public servant say he has done nothing when losses in millions have been incurred because of him?” the NAB prosecutor argued the court. “There is not even a grain of evidence suggesting that delays in the power project were because of me,” Awan said.
