In the detailed decision judgement, the IHC has declared the rejection of acquittal petitions ‘null and void’ in the case pertaining to £190 million case.

IHC Chief Justice Amir Farooq and Justice Miangul Hasan Aurangzeb issued the verdict. As per IHC’s ruling, both orders rejecting the acquittal pleas have been quashed. The trial court should decide on both the acquittal petitions, the IHC ruling said.
