Display the exact amount, which may exceed 500 million. He further said that no fresh notice was issued due to non-appearance of the petitioner. The court remarked that since no fresh notice was issued, the case will be disposed of, PHC against the NAB notice. Ali Amin Gandapur’s application dismissed.
