Legal Heirs Of Asghar Khan Wants Case's Logical Conclusion

Legal heirs of late Asghar Khan on Thursday submitting thier reply, rejected the Federal Investigation Agency's (FIA) recommendations to close the Asghar Khan case
The reply was submitted before the Supreme Court in case regarding implementation of the landmark 2012 verdict in the Asghar Khan case, asking that an inquiry in accordance with the Supreme Court's six-year-old order be continued.
The late (retd) air chief marshal had petitioned SC in 1996 alleging that Rs140 million had been doled out among several politicians to rig the 1990 polls against Benazir Bhutto.
In a joint response filed by the late Asghar Khan's family, including his wife and son Ali Asghar Khan, the heirs pleaded the apex court that the case should be taken to its logical conclusion.
The family stated that it wants the court's decision in the Asghar Khan case so that it can be put before the people.
The FIA, in a previous hearing at the SC, had submitted a report stating that there was "not enough evidence to continue investigating" the case. "There are contradictions in the statements of the witnesses and stated that the case was more than 25 years old and no record of bank transactions could be found. Politicians who were accused of taking money have also denied the allegations," and recommended to close the case.
On January 3, the Supreme Court had issued a three-page interim order on the case and issued noticesto the legal heirs of Asghar Khan, seeking their reply.
