ISLAMABAD: Property tycoon and former Chief of Bahria town Malik Riaz once again excused from appearing before a joint investigation team, DawnNews reported.
Riaz was expected to appear before the team on July 30.
Earlier, Sindh high Court (SHC) granted a four-week protective bail to the Riaz in a 1400 kanal land corruption case against the bond of one million rupees.
The case was heard by Justice Farooq Channa of SHC.
An anti-corruption court on Tuesday ordered Riaz’s arrest.
Speaking to media representatives after the hearing in the SHC, Malik said that he had trust in the judiciary and requested that he should also be given a chance for fair trial.
Riaz said that Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz (PML-N) was busy in foiling conspiracies against him.
He said that he was ready to appear in Rawalpindi’s court.
Malik should be tried in court and punished if found guilty
Riaz is called real estate tycoon in the media. I believe he is the most cruel land grabber. He grabbed land by decieving thousands of people. Then he bought everybody in government, including the president, to protect him. It is time that he should return everything that he has looted.
Our last hope is with the judiciary to save Pakistan. The white collar criminals must be stopped from bleeding the country.
Justice should prevail and Allah help all who are trying to make Pakistan a better place to be.
Well done judiciary the time has come to redeem you honour and dignity. In so doing you shall save this country thats ruled by criminals.
I don't trust any word that comes out of his mouth. He has made his money through corruption and should be brought to justice. He also tried to fool the whole nation by buying media and journalists.
So probably Meryem Nawaz called Riaz to tell him her dad Nawaz Sharif was hatching consipiracies against him….
