According to the sources, Zahir Shah forwarded his resignation to the NAB chairman, stating that he could not continue his work due to \u201cpersonal reasons\u201d.<br \/>\nIt is worth noting that Zahir Shah has previously held the positions of NAB Rawalpindi Director General and NAB Operations Director General. He has also served as NAB\u2019s acting chairman.<br \/>\nA retired officers will be appointed NAB deputy chairman after acceptance of Zahir Shah\u2019s resignation.<br \/>\nOn September 9, NAB Prosecutor General Justice (retd) Syed Asghar Haider had resigned from his post citing \u201cpersonal engagements\u201d. The Prime Minister\u2019s House had received the resignation of Asghar Haider, whose term of office was due to end in February 2024.<br \/>\nSources revealed that the NAB had completed its investigation into the 190 million pounds scandal and a reference in this regard was due to be submitted in court this month. But now the NAB cannot file the reference without prosecutor general\u2019s approval.<br \/>\nWithout the prosecutor general, the holding of executive board meeting and approval of cases were also now hanging in the air. The prosecutor general\u2019s nod was also a must for restoration of cases if the Supreme Court strikes down the NAB amendments law.<br \/>\nIt may be recalled that the previous PTI government had granted three-year extension in service to Asghar Haider through promulgation of an ordinance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Deputy Chairman Zahir Shah on Monday tendered his resignation, days after Bureau\u2019s prosecutor general had quit his post.
