Former chief justice of Pakistan, Saiduzzaman Siddiqui, has said that the government is planning to throw out all corruption cases instituted before 2002 through the proposed Accountability Law 2012. In an exclusive talk with Business Recorder at a dinner hosted by the partners of Shekha & Mufti to commemorate the firm's 10th years of services at a local hotel here, he said it has been proposed in the draft Accountability Bill 2012, which is going to be approved shortly, to scrape all corruption cases registered before 2002.

He terms the draft Accountability Bill 2012 as annihilable for the country, saying that the proposed law would have more serious impact on the economy of the country. To a question, he said that he was optimistic about the current situation of the country, saying that, "revolution is the only option to put country on track. But there is no hope of revolution in Pakistan like France, Iran and Arab countries as we are a divided nation."

To another question, he said the free and fair election in present scenario would be a formidable task for Election Commission of Pakistan. Earlier in his address, he said that the partners of Shekha & Mufti had proved that there was no shortcut for success. Moreover, he said, the auditors play an important role in governance as transparency in financial affairs always encourages foreign investments.

John Adcock, chairman Moore Stephens Middle East, said that the progress of Shekha & Mufti was phenomenal and they would hopefully maintain the same in future. "Shekha & Mufti is quality conscious and always tries to make its clients satisfied. Moore Stephens is proud to have Shekha & Mufti as its member," he added. In his welcome address, Adnan Mufti said that the Shekha & Mufti was established in 2002 with the aim to provide quality service to the clients. He said the company was celebrating its 10 years of success with the support of well-wishers and its clients.
