NAB sends 161 well-known cases to the department of anti-corruption

Published

As a result of recent modifications that the Supreme Court upheld, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has moved 161 well-known cases to the Anti-Corruption Department.

Key department officers from the Board of Revenue, Department of Agriculture, Department of Works and Services, Department of School Education, Department of Excise, and Karachi Development Authority (KDA) are among the officers involved in the transferred cases.

In addition, there are allegations against officials from the Sindh Solid Waste Management Board, Sindh Building Control Authority, Health Department, Public Health Engineering Department, and Local Government Department.

These high-profile cases will now be investigated by the Anti-Corruption Department as a result of this transfer. The NAB was forced to turn over these cases to the appropriate provincial authorities as a result of the Supreme Court’s decision to reinstate the NAB modifications.

Requests for documents from the pertinent departments have already been made by the Anti-Corruption Department, starting the process. Soon, the police involved in these situations should be receiving notices.

After the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) statutes were recently amended and affirmed by the Supreme Court, former prime minister Imran Khan also requested relief in the 190 million pounds case on September 7. By means of his legal team, the PTI founder has now filed his first acquittal petition.

Response to the NAB reference on financial misconduct allegations was filed through the petition.

After the federal government’s intra-court appeal against the amendments’ nullification was approved on September 6, the Supreme Court reinstated the changes made to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) law. The ruling reversed the previous ruling of a two-member bench that had declared the modifications unlawful. The five-member bench was led by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa.

Chief Justice Isa delivered the decision on behalf of the unanimous court. Declaring that constitutional institutions should respect each other’s mandates, the Supreme Court ruled that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Founder Imran Khan was unable to establish that the revisions to the NAB ordinance were unconstitutional.

“The chief justice and Supreme Court judges are not the gatekeepers of parliament,” the judgement noted.

With the help of this new Instagram function, parents will have more control over what their kids do online.

New users between the ages of 13 and 15 will have their Teen Accounts enabled immediately, while current users in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia will be gradually transferred to the new accounts over the course of the following 60 days.

Important characteristics of teen accounts

Teen accounts are by default set to private, which limits the display of their posts to authorized followers and keeps non-followers from getting in touch with them.

Restrictions on Teen Messaging: To minimize unwanted encounters, teens are only able to message people they follow or already have a connection with.

Control of Sensitive Content: Tight settings will prevent exposure to potentially dangerous content, like advertisements for cosmetic procedures or violent content.

Parental Control: Guardians can keep an eye on their offspring’s internet behavior, such as direct messaging and content intake.

Positive Content: By allowing teenagers to research interests, like sports, music, or the arts, they can enhance their online experience.

Extra protection

Reminding teenagers to take breaks after 60 minutes of app use is part of the daily limit.

Sleep mode: To encourage sound sleep habits, automatically mute notifications between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.

Using artificial intelligence to power age verification, underage individuals can be identified and moved to teen accounts.

In yesterday’s 92-run defeat against Markhors, Asif Ali, who is playing for the Dolphins under Saud Shakeel, scored a fast half-century.

Asif stated in an interview with a local news station that he wanted to do well enough throughout the competition to possibly earn a spot back on the national squad.

He also disclosed that, prior to making his international debut, he batted at number four in domestic cricket but was forced to settle for number six. The energetic batter had a new task because of the
in batting order.

Asif stated, “Going from No. 4 to No. 6 is not easy.” “It’s critical to train properly for your position in international cricket. It can be challenging to drop to a lower position at the international level if you’re used to playing higher up the order at home.

He talked candidly about the Dolphins’ defeat against the Markhorses as well, stating that given the pitch conditions, he would not have chosen to field first.

“Batting was challenging because the pitch favored bowlers in the latter parts of the game,” he remarked. Because of the early dampness, the Dolphins’ management decided to field first.

He then on, “If they had asked me, I would have told them to bat first and not fall for that.”

Report: Solar is expected to set new records this year.

In 2023, there was an expected 87% increase in growth. This year’s increase is 29% over the previous one, according to the research.

The cheapest source of electricity globally is solar power, and as such, it is expanding quicker than many anticipated, according to Euan Graham, an Ember electricity data analyst.

Ember estimates demonstrate the rapid growth of solar energy: in 2024 alone, new solar capacity will surpass the 540 GW of additional coal power added globally since 2010.

Expected to add 334 GW, or 56 percent of the global total in 2024, China continues to lead the globe in this industry.

According to the survey, it is followed by the US, India, Germany, and Brazil. These five nations will account for 75% of the new solar capacity in 2024.

According to the research, maintaining the sector’s growth required grid capacity and battery storage.

“Providing enough grid capacity and developing battery storage is critical for handling electricity distribution and supporting solar outside of peak sunlight hours as solar becomes more inexpensive and accessible,” the statement stated.

“Solar power might continue to surpass forecasts for the remainder of the decade if these issues are resolved and development is sustained.”
