KARACHI: Clarification

Published August 31, 2003

With reference to a report headlined ‘ex-banker gets bail in five cases’ carried by Dawns on Friday, it is clarified that Dawood Jan Mohammad, a prosecution witness in one of the cases, was not asked to pay Rs4 million but was only directed by the trial accountability court to be proceeded against by the NAB authorities. The ex parte direction was set aside by the Sindh High Court in appeal, according to Lakho Associates, his counsel. The report was based on a table supplied by the counsel for former Bankers Equity chief Rauf B. Kadri.
