The NAB Chairman’s counsel pleaded the court to grant his client exemption from appearing before the court, a request that the bench rejected. Later the bench adjourned the hearing till the 14th of March, due to changes in the constitution of the bench. Justice Gulzar Ahmed is going to be replaced by Justice Khilji Arif.
