ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) of Pakistan on Monday delisted Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s case against recent amendments to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) ordinance.
According to details, the Supreme Court registrar has issued a notification, delisting Imran Khan’s case against recent amendments to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) ordinance.
As per the notification, the former premier’s case against NAB amendments was scheduled for hearing on November 29. “However, the case has now been delisted due to Reko Diq and other cases,” it added.
In the last hearing conducted on November 17, Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial, discussing the amendments in the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) law, said that the error was not in the law but in its misuse.
The Chief Justice told Imran Khan’s lawyer Khawaja Haris that he was right that corruption was a disease and accountability of corruption was necessary for constitutional governance, adding the economy was also affected due to this problem.
He said that the question before the court was where to draw the line that fundamental rights had been affected. The fault was not in the NAB law but in its misuse, he added.
