London court terminates Surrey Palace case against Zardari
Daily Times Monitor
LAHORE: A London court has terminated the Surrey Palace case against PPP Co-Chairman Asif Zardari, Dawn News reported on Thursday. It said a special NAB prosecutor appeared before the court and said corruption cases against Zardari were being withdrawn under the NRO. The government had filed a claim on the property in a court in the Isle of Man, which according to Zardari’s lawyer Farooq Naik, ruled against the Pakistan government. However, talking to ARY TV channel, Naik said the court had already ruled in favour of Zardari due to lack of evidence. The Pakistani government had filed an appeal against the ruling, he said. Naik said there were no cases against Zardari abroad. Cases against Zardari were filed when he was in jail and all of them were fabricated, he said.
