NAB amendments case
ISLAMABAD
Supreme Court Judge Justice Mansoor Ali Shah on Friday suggested Chief Justice (CJ) Umar Ata Bandial constitute a full court to hear PTI petition against the NAB amendments. An application was filed by the PTI chief last year with the apex court challenging National Accountability Ordinance 2000 by the PML-N-led coalition government. Later, a report submitted by the graft buster to the apex court revealed that the NAO had ended up benefitting over 90 per cent of cases, including high-profile ones, that NAB was dealing with.
Experts note that the case carries significant importance as it revolves around the alterations introduced to the National Accountability (Second Amendment) Act in 2022 by the previous Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) government, which assumed power in April of the same year.
