The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has withdrawn the new Toshakhana reference against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi.
During the hearing of Imran Khan’s bail petition, the prosecutor told the court that the Toshakhana case no longer fell under its jurisdiction, after restoration of amendments to NAB laws.
The attorney representing the PTI founder stated that, in light of such amendments, the case should not even exist.

On NAB’s request, the accountability court transferred the Toshakhana reference to a special judge in Islamabad.
On September 6, the Supreme Court, unanimously, allowing the appeals of the federal government and some individuals, set aside the judgment, declaring the amendments made to the National Accountability Ordinance (NAO) 1999, null and void, and restoring the changes in the NAB law.
