Alam – the committee's chair – told the House on Tuesday that former chief justice Saqib Nisar will also be called in to Parliament so that his response pertaining to the dam fund could be sought.
The lawmaker apprised the NA that the registrar had failed to appear before the accountability body of the Parliament despite being intimated to, in this regard.
"The Constitution gives us the right to hold institutions accountable and we are entitled to summon the principal accounting officer of any institution," he noted.
In an apparent reference to courts, he said, "We appear before you. If you are clean, you should also allow us to put you under scrutiny."
At least, he maintained, submit records so that people may know who has been exploiting the country.
The committee had also asked for the list and money trails of owners of Constitution Avenue apartments, but the authorities have not provided them, so far. "The country is getting poor, while these people are getting richer," Alam was quoted as saying during the meeting.
In a surprise move last month, PAC summoned SC registrar for not conducting an audit of the court in the last 10 years.
He had said at the time, "I will call the principal accounting officer of the Supreme Court, as no audit para of the SC has come to PAC for 10 years."
Alam had also said that PAC had sought details of plots given to judges, members of Parliament, federal cabinet members, National Assembly, and Senate staff, from the CDA.
The committee had also asked for the list and money trails of owners of Constitution Avenue apartments, but the authorities have not provided them, so far.
PAC chairman had asked as to why the Ministry of Housing didn't furnish records despite the instructions to do so.
"Starting from Diplomatic Enclave, NAB and FIA must trace the money trail of these flats and find out how many flats there are in the One Constitution Building."
"The country is getting poor, while these people are getting richer," Alam was quoted as saying during the meeting.
