Author: inp

The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Saturday said that the case regarding the losses caused to the national exchequer by the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) will be heard on Tuesday.

The apex court issued notices to former presidents Pervez Musharraf and Asif Ali Zardari, and also the attorney general of Pakistan. A three-member bench of the SC will hear the case.

The NRO was promulgated in October 2007 by the government of then president Pervez Musharraf. Under the ordinance, cases against politicians were removed, paving the way for many of their return to country.
