A three-member bench is hearing a petition filed by PTI chief Imran Khan challenging the recent amendments to anti-graft laws
Islamabad: The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Tuesday ordered the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to provide the case records from 1999 to June 2022.
The record has been sought on a petition filed by PTI chief Imran Khan who challenged the recent amendments to anti-graft laws.
Chief Justice of Pakistan Umar Ata Bandial passed the orders after a three-member bench, comprising the CJP, Justice Ijazul Ahsan and Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah, heard the plea that called the new act a “violation of fundamental rights”.
During the hearing today, the top judge directed NAB to submit details of all the references filed so far along with the investigations completed ever since the amendments were introduced.
“There are several mafias in Pakistan. I don’t want to take names because corruption is present everywhere in the world,” Justice Bandial said, observing that there were some defects in the accountability laws, while some amendments were of a “very serious nature”.
“The court has to create balance,” the CJ added.
