SC to hold daily hearings on Imran Khan’s plea against NAB amendments: CJP

The Supreme Court will hold hearings on PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s plea against the amendments made to the National Accountability Ordinance (NAO) 1999, on a daily basis, Cheif Justice Umar Ata Bandial said on Tuesday.

A three-member bench of the apex court, headed by CJ Bandial and comprising Justice Ijazul Ahsen and Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah, resumed the hearing on Imran Khan’s plea.

Khan, through its lawyer Khwaja Haris, had filed an application under Rule 6 of SC Rules 180 for the placing on record of documents in the petition, challenging the NAB Ordinance 1999 amendments.

It informed the apex court that the amendments to NAB law have benefited Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Hamza Shehbaz, former prime ministers Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani and Raja Pervez Ashraf, the incumbent speaker of the National Assembly, and Senator Saleem Mandviwalla.
