The Sindh High Court adjourned the hearing of plea challenging the Federal Investigation Agency s graft inquiry against the National Institute of Cardio Vascular Diseases indefinitely on Tuesday.
The NICVD administration s plea maintains that the health facility falls under the provincial government. Therefore, contends the plea, an inquiry by the FIA on any matters pertaining to the NICVD is illegal and federal authority should be restricted.
The court has already issued notices to the Sindh advocate-general and the attorney-general of Pakistan, and has sought progress reports and records pertaining to the inquiry from the FIA.

The Sindh High Court directed the National Institute of Cardio Vascular Diseases (NICVD) on Wednesday to cooperate fully with the National Accountability Bureau in the inquiry pertaining to irregularities in zakat and other funds given to the health facility.
A two-member bench, comprising Justice Iqbal Kalhoro and Justice Shamsuddin Abbasi, was hearing the bail pleas of those accused in the accountability watchdog s graft inquiry.
The NAB investigation officer maintained before the court that the accused were not cooperating with the bureau. They have not provided the required records of the health facility, the IO maintained.
