10. Even otherwise the necessary legal requirements for the grant
of remand appears to have been complied with. A well-reasoned
order by Accountability Court No.III, Lahore was passed in
satisfaction of its judicial conscience as there were reasonable
grounds for believing that accusations or information were well
forwarded justifying custody of accused with NAB authorities. So
far the information furnished before the Accountability Court was
not false, which raised suspicion that accused committed the offence
under NAB provisions. Prima-facie reasonable grounds exist to
believe the petitioner’s involvement in the alleged offence and, thus,
his custody in connection with the case neither will be termed as
illegal nor improper for the purposes of maintaining a constitutional
petition to declare his arrest as unlawful. Reliance is placed upon
case titled “Hammad Khalid Vs. Chairman, National
Accountability Bureau, Islamabad and others” reported as PLD
2003 Lahore 94.
