LAHORE: The Lahore High Court on Friday directed the Federal investigation agency (FIA) to unfreeze all bank accounts of former chairperson of Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) Uzma Adil Khan.

Khan had challenged an FIA order that had frozen her bank accounts after the registration of FIRs. The cases were registered over the artificial shortage of petroleum products that had occurred during the first half of 2020.

The former OGRA chairperson, through her counsel Barrister Momin Malik, contended that his client was being saddled with criminal liability by the FIA through different FIRs and some ongoing inquiries.
