ISLAMABAD:
The Supreme Court on Monday acquitted former federal minister Anwar Saifullah in a case related to alleged illegal recruitment in the Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL), after allowing his review petition and setting aside its judgment.
The court ruled that the prosecution had not proved the allegations against the former minister.
The case was heard by a three-member bench headed by Justice Hashim Khan Kakar. It is worth noting that the high court had sentenced former minister to one year imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs5 million.
