A reserved decision on the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder’s request was announced by the Supreme Court of Pakistan on September 15, 2023, which also overturned changes made to statutes pertaining to the National Accountability Bureau.

The plea will be considered on May 14 by a five-member bench led by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP), Justice Qazi Faez Isa.

Among the other members of the bench are Justices Hassan Azhar, Jamal Mandokhail, Athar Minallah, and Amin-Ud-Din Khan. Served to the respondents are notices for May 14 from the SC registrar’s office.

PTI founder, National Accountability Bureau, and Federation of Pakistan were named respondents in the federal government’s review plea filed under the SC Practice and Procedure Law in the NAB modifications case.
The federal government begged the SC to overturn its ruling in the case, citing no indication that the NAB modifications violated anyone’s fundamental rights. The argument asserted that “legislation is the Parliament’s right.”

The Supreme Court of Pakistan granted the appeal filed by Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), contesting changes made to the nation’s accountability legislation while the PDM-led government was in power, with a majority vote of 2-1.

Following the changes to National Accountability Bureau legislation, the top court also revived graft proceedings against public office holders.
