The Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) has fixed the hearing of the Bahria Town implementation case on October 18.
A three-member bench headed by Chief Justice Qazi Faiz Isa and comprising Justice Aminuddin Khan and Justice Athar Minullah will hear the case on Oct 18.
The apex court has issued notices to the attorney general, NAB chairman and Sindh advocate general.
According to the order of the Supreme Court, Bahria Town had to deposit a certain amount. A recovery of 190 million pounds from the UK was also included in the payment. PTI chairman, Shahzad Akbar and others are also facing an NAB investigation on the same issue.
In 2019, The Supreme Court on Thursday accepted Bahria Town Karachi's Rs460 billion offer for the lands it occupies in the Malir district of Karachi and restrained the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) from filing references against it.
The Supreme Court in 2019, accepted the offer by the Bahria Town (Pvt) Limited to settle a case pertaining to its Malir or Karachi Super Highway project in lieu of payment of Rs460 billion.
Bahria Town Karachi was supposed to pay the entire amount over seven years.
In its ruling, the top court ordered Bahria Town Karachi to pay Rs25 billion by August 2019.
From September 2019 onward, it was bound to pay monthly installments of Rs2.25bn for the next three years. If the company fails to deposit two installments, Bahria Town Karachi will be considered a defaulter.
