In a recent development, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has launched an investigation into Judge Humayun Dilawar and his family. The KP Anti-Corruption Department is actively gathering details about all of Judge Dilawar’s assets from relevant institutions across the province. The department has made it clear that the inquiry will be dropped if no irregularities are found.
This investigation comes in the wake of Judge Humayun Dilawar’s verdict in the high-profile Toshakhana case, which involved former Prime Minister Imran Khan. While officials have not directly linked the inquiry to the case, reports suggest that the timing of the investigation has raised eyebrows. The anti-corruption unit insists that the process is standard and objective, emphasizing that it will be concluded fairly if all assets are accounted for properly.
Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif, the spokesperson of the KP government, stated, “The investigation is at the early stage, and if evidence is found, action will be taken. In case anti-corruption finds no evidence, the inquiry will be terminated.”
However, it is pertinent to mention here that the property details of Judge Humayun Dilawar and his family have been taken by the KP anti-corruption unit from different departments across the province including district administration Bannu, tax authorities, revenue board and SECP.
Additionally, the Revenue Department has submitted records of the CPEC Residential housing society, which was developed on family land owned by Judge Humayun Dilawar in Bannu, to the KP Anti-Corruption Department. This submission is part of the ongoing investigation into the judge and his family’s assets.
The housing society, tied to the family’s property, has now come under scrutiny as officials examine the financial dealings and ownership details. The Anti-Corruption Department is expected to review these records carefully as part of their inquiry. While the investigation remains in its early stages, the records of the housing project could play a key role in determining the outcome.
On the other hand, the lawyer of Judge Humayun Dilawar, Ahmed Sadiq, “Development works in Bannu, including bridges, were included by the previous provincial government in its annual development budget programme.”
