The SC reserved decision regarding the appeals against the NAB amendments case


Islamabad: The Supreme Court is likely to announce its verdict tomorrow (Friday) on the petition filed against its decision to annul the amendments to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) law.
The SC had reserved its decision on June 6 regarding the appeals against the NAB amendments case.
The federal government had filed an intra-court appeal against the annulment of these amendments. The bench, led by Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa, will deliver the judgment.
Last year, a four-member bench of the Supreme Court, led by former Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial, had nullified the NAB amendments in response to a petition filed by the founder of PTI.
After the amendments, the corruption cases involving less than Rs500 million were transferred to the NAB.
In its decision, the Supreme Court had invalidated the NAB amendments related to the benami accounts (anonymous assets), assets beyond means, and the shifting of the burden of proof onto the prosecution.
The court had also reinstated cases against all officers holding public offices.
