ISLAMABAD:Former head of Mehran Bank Younus Habib on Wednesday has filed a petition in the Supreme Court of Pakistan to form a judicial commission to recover the tax-payers’ money that was allegedly being disbursed in the 1990 election for illegal use, DawnNews reported.

 Habib said that although National Accountability Bureau (NAB) is already investigating the issue but a judicial commission should also be formed.

He said that he wants to tell the truth to the court before his death so that such actions could be avoided in the future.

While earlier today the SC issued a warning to Habib for writing a letter directly addressing to the Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Choudhry for which Habib asked for an unconditional apology.

The attorney general asked the Supreme Court for an extension for submission of the inquiry report regarding Younus Habib and the Mehran Bank.

Chief Justice remarked that security agencies are involved in activities that are beyond their mandate.

The hearing of the case had been adjourned till March 30.

Earlier Habib revealed in his statement before the SC that he had been forced by former president late Ghulam Ishaq Khan and former army chief Aslam Beg to arrange Rs340 million in the “supreme national interest”.
