Last year, the Supreme Court (SC) had declared that the total area of land acquired by the real estate company in Takht Pari, Rawalpindi, was 2,210 acres and not 1,741 acres as claimed by the developers. During the hearing, the judge directed NAB to ensure progress “through its actions”. Justice Saeed inquired to the NAB prosecutor regarding why didn’t the accountability watchdog submit its report on Bahria Town despite being asked to. At this, the SC judge reacted, “The fact is that no cooperation has been shown [on the part of NAB]”. “Tell your client to cooperate with the court,” Justice Saeed advised Ali Zafar, the counsel of Bahria Town.
