Key political figures, including Imran Khan, are expected to gain relief from the recent amendments made by the PML-N government to the National Accountability Ordinance (NAO) 2000.
These changes, which were endorsed by the Supreme Court’s larger bench led by Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa, are likely to impact several high-profile cases being processed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
Imran Khan, along with his wife Bushra Bibi, is expected to benefit from the amendments. Their legal team is reportedly considering filing for acquittal in the £190-million corruption case based on the new provisions.
