Asghar Khan case hearing adjourned till March 30

The Supreme court of Pakistan adjourned the hearing of Asghar Khan money distribution case till March 30th.

The three-Judge bench of Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, Justice Khilji Arif Hussain and Justice Tariq Parvez was hearing the case.

Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry remarked that the agencies are not working as per their mandate. '
While referring to Asad Durrani the CJ said you are accepting that you distributed money. 'You and Aslam Beg were generals when this happened and we don't know the consequences of this act.'

The statement of Younis Habib was kept as a record in the case.
During the proceeding today, Younis Habib apologised for his statement regarding the letter to CJP, as the apex court warned him.
Earlier, Asad Durrani on March 09 testified before the SC that he received instructions from the then chief of army staff Mirza Aslam Baig to make arrangements for disbursement of Rs140 million among the candidates contesting 1990 general elections to manipulate the results.
