A five-judge bench, chaired by Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa and comprised of Justice Aminuddin Khan, Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail, Justice Athar Minallah, and Justice Syed Hasan Azhar Rizvi, presided over the federal government’s intra-court appeal.
Former Prime Minister Imran Khan, founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), participated in the proceedings via video link from Adiala Jail, where he is currently detained.
Farooq H. Naek, representing the Pakistan Peoples Party, presented arguments before the court.
The federal government contested the majority verdict issued by the apex court in September of the previous year, which had declared amendments to the National Accountability Ordinance (NAO) 2002 as illegal.
Following the conclusion of arguments, the court reserved its decision. Chief Justice Isa prepared the order for today’s proceedings.
