ISLAMABAD- The Supreme Court of Pakistan issued notices today to Zia Farooqi, the owner of Dewan Petroleum, in the case of the former chairman OGRA Tauqir Sadiq.

The court issued a notice against the stay order of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) which ended the National Accountability Bureau's (NAB) investigation of the eleven accused in the Tauqir Sadiq case.  The court has adjourned the hearing of this case until Friday and the OGRA implementation case till March 10, 2014.
