LHC moved against NAB formation
LAHORE: The Lahore High Court has been asked to declare that the chairman of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) non-existent in view of “defective formation of the bureau under its ordinance.”
The Lawyers Foundation for Justice filed a petition through senior lawyer A.K Dogar, pleading that there is no provision in the National Accountability Ordinance 1999 for constituting a bureau.
The petition states that it had been expressly stated in the ordinance that the chairman of the NAB shall be appointed by the president in consultation with the leader of house and the leader of the opposition. But it has not been enacted anywhere how the bureau shall be constituted or set up, it adds. The petition further pleads that the NAB ordinance was promulgated in a hurry during martial law imposed by Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf only to control and punish politicians.
