The National Accountability Bureau is withdrawing its plea after new amendments to NAB law, a prosecutor of the anti-graft watchdog told the court.

The bench headed by Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial heard the plea.

NAB had approached the apex to cancel the bail of Maryam in the Shamim Sugar Mills case.

The prosecutor urged the court to dispose the appeal rather than dismissing the order.

Meanwhile, a three-member bench headed by Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial heard the petition of Broadsheet Company regarding access to Volume 10 of the Panama JIT.

Justice Athar Minallah said that the petition of Broadsheet Company regarding the opening of Volume 10 of the Panama JIT report was disposed of on the basis of withdrawal.

He went on to add that it was asked to open Volume 10 for international arbitration, but the arbitration process has been completed, and the petition now stands ineffective.

The additional attorney general of Pakistan told the court that NAB paid $28 million to Broadsheet.

During the hearing, the CJP told Latif Khosa, counsel for Broadsheet Company, that he can bring a petition on the matter under Article 184-3.

Khosa is Broadsheet’s representative that does not represent the people of Pakistan, remarked Justice Minallah.
