IHC to hear polo ground reference against Asif Zardari tomorrow

ISLAMABAD (92 News) – The Islamabad High Court (IHC) will hear the polo ground reference against former president Asif Zardari on Thursday. The IHC is hearing the reference against the acquittal of Asif Zardari on the appeal of the NAB after three years. On May 29, 2014, an accountability court had acquitted former president Asif Ali Zardari in the reference. Zardari was accused of getting done illegal construction of a polo ground and other ancillary works at the Prime Minister House when his wife, Benazir Bhutto, was in office as prime minister. In this case, the court had earlier acquitted former principal secretary to the prime minister Saeed Mehdi, while the case against Shafi Sehwani, a former Capital Development Authority (CDA) chairman, was withdrawn following his death.
