| 2007-06-07 |
| The Lahore High Court (LHC) accepted a petition and allowed Asfa Bano, Ghulam Zohra and 12 others to become party in a quashment petition moved by Syed Sibtul Hassan alias Double Shah. The petitioners, residents of Gujranwala and Wazirabad, through their counsel Dr A Basit, requested the court to implead them as a party in the quashment petition moved by Double Shah. He said that each petitioner seeking impleadment in the petition of Double Shah was entitled to restitution from whatever assets were recovered from Double Shah. Dr Basit submitted that there was reason to believe that Double Shah, who had defrauded the public of more than Rs 55 billion had filed a quashment petition. He said the operation conducted by Double Shah had dimensions of a scam and had attracted widespread public attention and judicial notice of this fact should be taken. He said that documentary proof was available of the fact that each petitioner seeking impleadment in Double ShahÂ’s petition was entitled to restitution of their sums from whatever assets were recovered from him (Double Shah). He said that the 14 petitioners also wanted to persuade the court to ask Double Shah to submit at least an approximate account of the total sum he had received from the people since it was from these assets that the 14 petitioners expected that there investments would be reimbursed. |
