The Supreme Court has fixed a date to address the federal government's appeal against the ruling on NAB law amendments, a legal battle involving former PM Imran Khan with far-reaching implications on the country's accountability framework.

After a delay of over six months, the Supreme Court has finally scheduled the federal government's intra-court appeal (ICA) against the ruling that deemed the changes to the National Accountability Ordinance (NAO) 2002 unlawful. This legal battle revolves around the amendments to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) law, which were contested by former prime minister Imran Khan.

Following a prolonged wait, the Supreme Court has now fixed a date to address the federal government's appeal within the court system. The appeal challenges the decision that invalidated the alterations made to the NAO 2002. The amendments to the NAB law, which faced opposition from former prime minister Imran Khan, are the focal point of this legal dispute.

The upcoming hearing at the Supreme Court regarding the federal government's appeal on the NAB law amendments marks a significant development in this ongoing legal saga. The decision reached by the court will have far-reaching implications on the accountability framework in the country, impacting how cases of corruption and malpractice are handled. Stay tuned for updates on this crucial legal battle.
