ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday fixed hearing into National Accountability Bureau (NAB) plea challenging former president Asif Ali Zardari’s acquittal in Polo Ground and Ursus Tractors corruption references. The IHC after three years fixed two out of four NAB’s pleas against Zardari’s acquittal by Islamabad’s accountability court. Zardari was acquitted on May 28, 2014 in the Polo Ground reference. The NAB in the reference nominated the two former Capital Development Authority (CDA) chairmen as the principal accused. It was alleged that both the former CDA chiefs got sheds constructed and carried out landscaping in a portion of the Prime Minister House and converted it into a polo ground.
