NAB asks IHC to restore disqualification period of convicts to 10 years
ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has approached the Islamabad High Court (IHC) in a matter pertaining to permission for persons convicted under the NAB Ordinance to contest the February 8 general elections.
NAB has requested the high court to suspend its single bench decision and restore the 10-year disqualification period for the NAB convicts to contest elections.
The anti-graft watchdog has stated that persons convicted under the NAB law have been referring to the decision of the single bench of the high court for contesting the upcoming elections.
According to NAB, a single bench of the IHC had in June last year reduced the disqualification period of NAB convicts to five years instead of 10 years.
The bureau has requested the high court to suspend the impugned decision on the intra-court
appeal.
