LAHORE: An anti-corruption court in Lahore dismissed post-arrest bail petitions of Lahore Development Authority (LDA) Director Housing Sabtain Raza and two co-accused on Wednesday.
As per the details, they are accused of being involved in the fake allotment of 27 plots in Johar Town Housing Society.
The judge, Ali Raza, conducted the proceedings and announced the decision after hearing detailed arguments of the parties.
The case was registered against nine accused, including LDA Director Housing Sabtain Raza, LDA Deputy Director Faisal Anjum, LDA Assistant Director Sarfraz Khokhar, LDA Accountant Muhammad Aslam, Patwari Nadeem, Nisar Ahmad, Zaheer Ahmad, and Shahid Munir.
In addition, the defense counsel submitted that the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) Punjab arrested his clients over their alleged involvement in the fake allotment of 27 plots in Johar Town, but the ACE did not have any solid evidence against them.
However, the ACE’s prosecutor opposed the plea and submitted that the bogus files of plots were recovered from the custody of the accused.
