SC rules in favour of govt in NAB amendments case
Apex court remarked that PTI founder Imran Khan could not prove that NAB amendments were unconstitutional
Islamabad: Accepting intra-court appeals filed against the September 15, 2023 majority judgement, the Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) on Friday struck down the amendments to the National Accountability Ordinance (NAO).
A larger bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faiz Isa and comprising Justice Aminuddin, Justice Jamal Khan Mandukhel, Justice Athar Minallah and Justice Hasan Azhar Rizvi announced the unanimous verdict.
The apex court approved the intra-court appeals filed by the federal and provincial governments and remarked that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan could not prove that NAB amendments were unconstitutional.
The five-member bench reserved the verdict on June 6 on multiple appeals against the apex court's September 15 verdict which was announced by then-CJP Umar Ata Bandial.
