Ch. Imran Hassan Ali represented the sponsors and management of Al-Haram City before the Lahore High Court, Rawalpindi Bench, in a Constitution Petition challenging an illegal notice issued by National Accountability Bureau (“NAB”). Al-Haram City is a major private real estate developer of the twin cities. Through the said notice, NAB had summoned the sponsors and management of Al-Haram City in connection with some contractual disputes and regulatory matters that do not fall within jurisdiction of NAB.
On 29-09-2021, the petition was heard by a Division Bench of the Lahore High Court, Rawalpindi Bench. After lengthy arguments, Deputy Prosecutor NAB conceded that the notice had been issued in violation of law and stated that the notice under challenge was being withdrawn. Consequently, the High Court disposed of the petition in light of the said conceding statement.
