‘Big Blow’: Supreme Court Orders to Restore Corruption Cases Against Public Office Holders

548

LAHORE MIRROR — The Supreme Court (SC) on Friday ordered to restore the corruption cases against public office holders that were earlier withdrawn after amendments were made to the country’s accountability laws. The verdict was given with 2-1.

The reserved verdict was announced by a three-member bench comprising Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial, Justice Ijazul Ahsan and Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah on PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s 2022 petition challenging amendments made to the accountability laws.

CJP Bandial and Justice Ahsan declared Imran’s plea to be maintainable while Justice Shah disagreed with the majority verdict.
