LAHORE: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has filed a reference before an accountability court seeking final approval to close two inquiries initiated 20 years ago against PML-Q President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and Punjab Assembly Speaker Chaudhry Parvez Elahi.
In January, the NAB had told the Lahore High Court (LHC) that the inquiries had been closed for want of evidence.
The first inquiry against the families of Hussain and Elahi was related to the allegations of acquiring illegal assets. The second was against Elahi accusing him of making illegal appointments in local government departments. A third on charges of loan default against the duo had already been closed.
