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.

The chief minister of KP, Ali Amin Gandapur, has been granted three weeks of transit bail in his plea with the Peshawar High Court (PHC).

The appeal for information regarding charges against Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur was considered by a two-judge panel from the PHC, which included Chief Justice Ishtiaq Ibrahim and Justice Sahibzada Asadullah.

The chief justice noted that the chief minister showed up for the court hearing, even though he was actually scheduled to be in Islamabad for an IMF meeting.

The applicant’s legal representative has asked for specifics of all pending charges against Chief Minister Gandapur, including those in Punjab.

According to the assistant attorney general, he told the ministry of the interior to adhere rigidly to court orders.

According to CJ Ibrahim, they have the option to request a response from the federal government and extend protection bail up to the Punjab region.

In every case, the additional attorney general ensured that court orders were implemented. He said that he had written to each district and requested details from the Punjab Police and the Inspector General.

The assistant attorney general has asked for an extension of three weeks to complete the report.

Gandapur could not attend the court daily due to his administrative duties and his position as chief minister and public office holder, according to Justice Asadullah.

After extending KP CM’s protective bail, the judge postponed the case hearing to December 17.

“Prepared to Protest”

Speaking to the media outside of PHC, KP CM Ali Amin Gandapur declared that he was prepared for the PTI protest meeting and that this time, the action plan will be stringent but undisclosed.

He emphasized that their peaceful protest was in accordance with their constitutionally protected right. According to him, his group was attacked, rubber bullets were shot, and routes were blocked so that protests couldn’t take place.

Importantly, on November 24th, Aleema Khan, who is the brother of PTI founder Imran Khan, said that her brother had called for a final protest.
