Islamabad: The Supreme Court of Pakistan has issued a contempt notice to the National Accountability Bureau chairman Fasih Bukhari after he wrote a letter to President Asif Ali Zardari, accusing the apex court of pressurising NAB officers.
The court has summoned Bukhari on February 4.
In the letter sent Jan 27, the NAB chief accused the SC of interfering in the bureau’s investigations, particularly against politicians, and endangering the independence of their work.
A three-member bench of the apex court, comprising Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, Justice Gulzar Ahmed and Justice Sh Azmat Saeed, heard the case today concerning implementation of its March 2012 ruling in the rental power projects (RPP) case.
