NAB Chairman Calls Meeting To Develop Strategy For Reinstating Corruption Cases
Meanwhile, according to sources, the NAB Prosecution Division will provide a comprehensive briefing to meeting participants on Monday regarding the apex court’s decision to invalidate certain amendments in the NAB law.
The apex court has reinstated all closed inquiries initiated by the anti-graft body and has mandated the revival of all corruption cases involving less than Rs500 million against political leaders from various parties and public office holders, deeming the amendments null and void.
Additionally, the court has instructed the NAB to return all case records to the relevant courts within seven days.
However, a potential issue has emerged due to the recent resignation of Prosecutor General Accountability Justice (PGA) retired Syed Asghar Haider.
In response to the PGA’s absence, the NAB chairman has temporarily assigned Additional Prosecutor General Akbar Tarar with the acting charge until a new prosecutor general is appointed.
