The accountability court on Thursday approved Finance Minister Ishaq Dar's one-day immunity from the court appearance in a corruption references filed by the NAB regarding assets beyond means.

NBP President Saeed Ahmed was offered to become an approver against Sharifs and Ishaq Dar during his first appearance in NAB's Lahore office. Furthermore, it was decided by the authorities to conduct forensic tests of account opening forms. Dar was represented by secondary counsel Ayesha Hamid. The minister's guarantor informed the court that Dar is in London for medical treatment.

Judge Mohammad Bashir ordered to continue bailable arrest warrants for the minister, besides rejecting the NAB plea to issue non-bailable warrants for Dar on failing to appear before the court.

On the other hand, sources said that National Accountability Bureau (NAB) may not serve further notices to Sharif family for recording their statements and would file the cases on the basis of JIT report.

He also said that Dar will have to undergo angiography on November 3 and therefore could not attend the hearing.

NAB had passed a "freezing order" on October 18 regarding two-and-a-half dozen bank accounts and assets of Dar in Pakistan and overseas, the court documents revealed.

The prosecutor submitted details of Dar's assets and argued that NAB cheif could pass orders to freeze the assets under the Ordinance.

During the proceedings, the NAB prosecutor also asked the court to validate the bureau's claim to freeze Dar's assets overseas.

Hamid told the court that NAB had also moved to freeze assets which Dar had already sold.

Dar was indicted last month in the case in which he is accused of making assets that were "disproportionate to his known sources of income for which he could not reasonably account for".

The bureau had seized the assets of Dar following NAB chairman's orders, which are valid for 15 days under the NAB Ordinance.

NAB has listed the properties and assets of Dar as follows: A house in Gulberg, Lahore, a two-kanal plot in Parliamentarians Enclave, Islamabad, a two-kanal plot with Ayaz Builders (Pvt) Ltd, a plot in Senate Cooperative Housing Society, Islamabad, a two kanal and 19 marla plot in the name of Mrs Tabassum Dar, three plots in Alflah Housing Society, Lahore owned by Dar, his wife and son Ali Mustafa Dar and six acres in Mouza Milot owned by him and his wife.

Dar, who is now in London, is also expected to return back to Pakistan on November 2 to appear before an accountability court in connection with a corruption reference, filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
