Development schemes: Supreme Court reserves ruling

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Monday reserved ruling in a case pertaining to use of discretionary funds and development schemes in Raja Pervez Ashraf’s tenure as prime minister.

The court said action should be taken against those who approved the non-transparent development schemes after reviewing all the projects.

It also said that all the development schemes be reviewed to ascertain whether rules were followed or not.

The court ordered an evaluation of all the incomplete schemes to ascertain whether they were in public interest or not.

A three judge-bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammmad Chaudhry was hearing the case.
