ISLAMABAD: An accountability court on Monday acquitted former finance minister Ishaq Dar in assets beyond means reference, ARY News reported.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Islamabad accountability court announced its judgment reserved earlier in the NAB reference.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo evidence of corruption found against Ishaq Dar\u201d, the court said in its verdict.<\/p>\n

NAB prosecutor Afzal Qureshi in previous hearing told the court that there was no evidence of corrupt practice against Ishaq Dar in the case.<\/p>\n

Judge Mohammad Bashir said the NAB Prosecutor General should submit its reply in writing. \u201cReply in writing if you have no objection over acquittal of Ishaq Dar and other accused\u201d, judge said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have given our arguments on merit, court could announce its decision,\u201d NAB lawyer said.<\/p>\n

Ishaq Dar\u2019s counsel Qazi Misbahul Hassan and the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Prosecutor Afzal Qureshi had concluded their arguments in the case in previous hearing.<\/p>\n

The court had resumed hearing of the reference against Dar in the light of the Supreme Court\u2019s decision against amendments in the NAB law.<\/p>\n

NAB had filed reference against Ishaq Dar, Saeed Ahmed, Naeem Mahmood, and Mansoor Raza Rizvi in 2017.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
