LAHORE The former IT consultant of all eight intermediate and secondary boards of Punjab, Dr Majid Naeem on Thursday moved a petition before Lahore High Court challenging his arrest by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on corruption charges. The petitioner stated that his arrest was illegal as it was made without a nod from the NAB chairman and requested that the subsequent physical remand awarded by an accountability court to NAB be declared as illegitimate.
The NAB had arrested Dr Naeem as a reference was filed against him on charges of misappropriating Rs 2,797,850 in Punjab University’s funds and misuse of authority during his tenureas Punjab University College of Information Technology principal. The court had already rejected his acquittal application in the case. Dr Naeem soon after his remand by the NAB court had moved an application for plea-bargain.Daily Times.
