The petitioner contended no legal requirements were completed in his arrest and NAB acted beyond its jurisdiction. The petitioner’s counsel told the court that Cheema was being politically victimised through his arrest by NAB. He asked that the arrest be declared null and void.
On the other hand, NAB’s counsel implored that all legal requirements were completed in the said arrest, adding Cheema’s application is not maintainable so it should be dismissed. However, the bench reserved the decision on the petition.
