PTI founder submits his written reply in NAB amendments case

The case in question involves a review petition filed by the federal government of Pakistan regarding amendments to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) laws. The Supreme Court of Pakistan, led by Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa and including four other justices, has reserved its verdict after hearing arguments from all sides.

Key points in the case include:

1. **Imran Khan's Plea**: The founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, has requested the Supreme Court to nullify the NAB amendments, claiming they are unlawful. He argues that amendments made to protect corruption are not acceptable, even in countries with weaker governance. He also mentioned an alleged misrepresentation of a necklace's value to prosecute him in the Toshakhana case.

2. **Previous Supreme Court Ruling**: Earlier, the Supreme Court, in a 2-1 verdict, struck down the amendments to the NAB laws following Imran Khan's petition. This decision restored corruption cases against public office holders that had been closed due to the amendments.

3. **Federal Government's Review Petition**: The federal government has filed a review petition against the Supreme Court's decision, arguing that there was no violation of basic rights with the NAB amendments. The government maintains that making legislation is a constitutional right of the Parliament.

The Supreme Court's decision on the review petition will have significant implications for the accountability framework and the political landscape in Pakistan.
