SC To Resume Hearing of NRO Implementation Case

The Supreme Court would resume the hearing of the case regarding the implementation of the court’s verdict on the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO).

The bench expressed dismay over the absence of Law Secretary Justice (r) Muhammad Aquil Mirza – whose resignation was accepted by the government after the court proceedings from the court.

Attorney-General Anwarul Haq informed the court that Law Secretary Justice (retd.) Aqil Mirza could not attend the hearings as he had submitted his resignation.

The court inquired whether the government had accepted his resignation and the AG replied that the government was in the process to formally accept his resignation. At that, the Supreme Court said this meant that Aqil Mirza was still the Law Secretary.
