ISLAMABAD: Islamabad High Court (IHC) has issued notices to former president Pervez Musharraf, PML-N Quaid Mian Nawaz Sharif, sitting governor state bank of Pakistan and 9 others on a petition filed against the appointment of governor state bank Shamshad Akhtar.

At the inception of the hearing petitioner barrister Javed Iqbal Jaffri took the ground principle of merit was ignored by the former president Pervez Musharraf in the appointment of governor state bank.

Barrister Javed Iqbal contended the post was not even advertised in the news papers and governor state bank was appointed at the behest of former president Pervez Musharraf and the nation was suffering heavily in the wake of this appointment.

He argued Mian Nawaz Sharif sold out his steel mill in Saudi Arabia at the cost of billion of rupees and he transferred this amount to his offshore accounts. If he transfers all his assets to Pakistan then we will not need to extend hands before others, he added. Therefore Mian Nawaz Sharif be asked under what law he had transferred this money to foreign accounts, he submitted.

The court has sought reply from governor state bank, federal secretary, chief executive officer Khushali Bank, Islamabad, former president Pervez Musharraf and PML-N Quaid Mian Nawaz Sharif within two weeks.

Court also remarked wealth held by Mian Nawaz Sharif in foreign countries be brought back to Pakistan.
