SC judgment declaring NAB amendments null and void challenged

  • 2 min
A review petition was submitted on Friday to contest the Supreme Court's decision that invalidated the modifications made to the 1999 National Accountability Ordinance (NAO). The petitioner, Abdul Jabbar, represented by senior lawyer and PPP Senator Farooq H Naek, has requested the court to overturn its September 15, 2023, ruling. Jabbar, not part of the constitutional petition by Imran Khan challenging the NAB law amendments, is dissatisfied with the verdict, particularly concerning the NAB's minimum pecuniary threshold, which was reduced to Rs100 million from the Parliament's initial Rs500 million.
