Pakistan’s Constitutional Court is set to decide the future of former Prime Minister Imran Khan in all cases related to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). The move follows a major legal amendment affecting the country’s judicial system.
The NAB amendment marks the first significant transfer of appellate jurisdiction from the Supreme Court to the Federal Constitutional Court. The change shifts authority over key accountability cases to the newly empowered court.
Imran Khan faces multiple NAB cases involving corruption allegations. The Constitutional Court’s decisions could have a major impact on his legal and political future.
The amendment has sparked debate among legal experts and political parties. Supporters say it strengthens constitutional oversight, while critics argue it alters the balance of judicial powers.
The court is expected to hear appeals arising from NAB proceedings under the revised legal framework. Its rulings will likely shape the future handling of high-profile accountability cases.
The development marks a significant shift in Pakistan’s judicial landscape. It also adds a new dimension to the ongoing legal battles surrounding Imran Khan.
