KARACHI: Dr Asim Hussain has said a few doctors who have personal grudge against me due to professional rivalry and some opposition politicians are behind the troubles he is facing at present. He was replying to the queries by media persons outside the NAB Court yesterday. Earlier, during the hearing of case at NAB Court IV, Dr Asim’s advocate Amir Raza Naqvi cross examined the Section Officer, Board of Revenue and the prosecution witness Amaduddin Chachar. During the hearing defence counsel asked the witness why he did not place the Supreme Court’s Order dated 16-04-2013 on court’s record. Replying to this question the witness said that SC order was not available with him but if given some time he could produce it before the court. The court adjourned the hearing for 4th August. To another question by defence counsel Amir Raza, witness said that he was unaware of the documents shown in the seizure memo prepared by NAB investigation officer on October 02, 2015; neither his statement was recorded by NAB authorities. It was on February 18, 2016 when he had signed the documents placed on record. To another question Amaduddin replied that he had visited the NAB office only 3 or 4 times on their verbal calling. He did not receive any call letter from the investigation officer. He also said that he did not produce any authority letter in the court, issued by his superior officers for appearance before the NAB I.O. However, his superiors did receive letters which he did not place on record. The witness also admitted that documents produced before the courts were not in his possession on October 02, 2015. He did not process, signed or release any such record. Replying to a question Amaduddin said that letters at serial No. 1 to 7 of court record were not in his knowledge before October 02 2015. He further stated that there were no enclosures besides these documents; there was no index of the documents attached with the seizure memo, the witness added. The witness conceded that that the matter is sub-judice in the Supreme Court and he did not place it on record that matter is pending hearing before the Supreme Court. The court directing the witness to place SC’s order on next date of hearing, adjourned proceedings till August 04 when PW will be cross examined further.
