Hearing on petitions against NRO on October 18

17 Oct, 2007

The Lahore High Court (LHC) will carry on with two identical petitions against the 2007 National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) on October 18, considering it discriminatory and malafide. Bar members MD Tahir and Nasullah Khan Baber had take up the case, telling the court to liquidate the ordinance.
They believe no law could be made or promulgated against the national interests, arguing that the government or parliament had no authority to anyone to plunder the public money. They said the government could never drop criminal cases recorded by the state and that the government, by releasing politicians from their cases only to their ulterior motives, was violating the Constitution.
