ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Wednesday summoned the six-month record of NAB cases that were scrapped after amendments were made to the National Accountability Ordinance (NAO) in 1999.
\nA three-member bench of the apex court, headed by Chief Justice Umer Ata Bandial, heard the appeal of NAB on the cancellation of bail of an accused in a case.<\/p>\n
The court also summoned records about cases, which were transferred to the forums concerned after the NAB amendments.<\/p>\n
During the hearing, the NAB law officer told the court that the application had become infructuous after the instant corruption case in Quetta, which does not fall under NAB\u2019s jurisdiction.<\/p>\n
He pleaded with the court to withdraw the instant appeal against the bail of the accused.<\/p>\n
The chief justice said that no accused involved in corruption cases was being acquitted due to the amendments, but cases were being transferred to other forums.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe NAB amendments have been challenged, and the court is yet to rule on them,\u201d the CJP stated.<\/p>\n
The CJP asked the prosecutor about the status of those cases that were being transferred from accountability courts due to the NAB amendments.<\/p>\n
The prosecutor replied that a review committee had been constituted for cases transferred from accountability courts, which will be sent to the forums concerned.<\/p>\n
The court then requested a record of the previous six months, including full details of the cases sent to the relevant forums, and adjourned further hearings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
