ISLAMABAD, Apr 24 (TNS): The Supreme Court Tuesday served notices to the former presidents, General (r) Pervez Musharraf and Asif Ali Zardari, former Attorney-General Justice (r) Malik Mohammed Qayyum and the National Accountability Bureau on a plea regarding National Reconciliation Ordinance.
A three-judge bench led by Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar issued the notices after the preliminary hearing in a plea moved by Feroz Shah Gilani in connection with National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO).
During the course of proceedings, Gilani pleaded before the bench that the NRO caused a loss of billions of rupees.
Chief Justice asked the petitioner as to the purpose of the petition, observing that the Supreme Court had already declared the NRO null and void.
However, the court issued notices to the respondents seeking their replies and adjourned further hearing of the case for a month.
