Justice Mansoor Ali Shah of Supreme Court of Pakistan on Friday urged his outgoing Chief Justice Umer Atta Bandiyal to constitute a full court bench (comprising all 16 judges) to hear petitions against amendments in anti-graft laws. Petitioner Imran Khan, disgraces out of office in a no confidence vote in April 2022 alleged that amendments helped in withdrawal of corruption cases against the previous government coalition led by Shahbaz Sharif. A month before his retirement Chief Justice Umer Atta Bandiyal has suddenly fixed the case for a decision promoting speculations that the court might strike down the amendments resulting in revival of dozens of corruption investigations and cases against the government of Shahbaz Sharif which has recently been dissolved after completion of 5 years constitutional term of the lower house of parliament. #MJtv talks to senior journalist Hasnat Malik about today’s apex court hearing.
