The anti-graft watchdog has filed a plea in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) seeking the withdrawal of four appeals against Zardari.

The NAB in its petition said that the available record against the PPP co-chairman was not ‘sufficient’ and the relevant evidence was also in the form of photostat copies and was not as per legal standards, adding that further prosecution of the case would be a futile effort.

The NAB had challenged the acquittal of the former president in four cases including Ursus Tractors, SGS-Cotecna, and Polo Ground cases.
