The Peshawar High Court has dismissed the National Accountability Bureau's (NAB) appeal against a Forest Officer, maintaining the officer's acquittal in a case concerning illegal tree cutting. According to Hum News, the appeal was presided over by Justices Syed Arshad Ali and Muhammad Faheem Wali, who upheld the officer's acquittal from 2011. The Forest Officer's lawyer, Daniyal Chamkani Advocate, argued that the allegations by NAB were baseless, and the officer had been wrongly accused of embezzling approximately 50 million rupees. NAB's special prosecutor contended that illegal tree cutting had occurred in the Kaghan area, but the court found the evidence insufficient to overturn the previous acquittal. Jang also reported on the proceedings, highlighting the court's decision to reject NAB's claims, thereby reinforcing the Forest Officer's legal stance.
