islamabad - The Islamabad accountability court judge Muhammad Bashir has written a letter to the law ministry requesting to appoint judge in accountability court-II.

The letter stated that there were important cases underway at the accountability court-I and in the meantime, he was also assigned responsibility to oversee the affairs of accountability court-II, which had overburdened him. “This process could affect the responsibility to dispense justice,” he said. Since the last month, the accountability court-I judge is performing additional charge of judge at the accountability court-II.

He is hearing key cases pertaining to references filed by NAB against former premier Mian Nawaz Sharif and former finance minister Ishaq Dar.
