ISLAMABAD, May 8 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 08th May, 2017 ) : Islamabad High Court (IHC) Monday reserved its judgment in a case seeking quashment of a corruption FIR against former deputy chairman NAB, Imtaiz Tajwar.

Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui of IHC heard the case filed by Tajwar against the first information report (FIR) registered by Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) against him. During the course of proceeding, Deputy Attorney General Raja Khalid argued that the accused had embezzled Rs.
