RAWALPINDI: Founder Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf(PTI) Imran Khan sought relief in £190 million case after the decision of the Supreme Court on the case related to NAB amendments.
The hearing of the £190 million reference against Imran Khan was held in Adiala Jail. During the hearing, the PTI founder filed an acquittal petition in the £190 million reference after the NAB amendment decision.
The lawyer PTI founder said that after the NAB amendment decision , the case of £190 million is not valid now and all the decisions of the cabinet are protected in the NAB amendments.
Imran Khan's lawyer said that the question is that after the NAB amendments, the accountability court has jurisdiction in this case or not.
The NAB prosecutor said that “If the court has jurisdiction in this case, then the plea of acquittal can be heard, to which PTI's lawyer said that we have not challenged the jurisdiction of the court, It is the discretion of the court to decide the authority”.
The accountability court adjourned the hearing on PTI founder's petition for acquittal till September 10.
Earlier, Supreme Court rejected Imran Khan's request to declare the NAB amendments null and void and approved the intra-court appeals of the federal and provincial governments and reinstated the NAB amendments.
In the detailed judgment of the Supreme Court, it was said that the founder PTI could not satisfy the court regarding the annulment of the NAB amendments.
