Express June 29, 2010

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) will withdraw three references against President Asif Ali Zardari.

Express has learned that NAB’s legal team has decided to withdraw the Polo ground, Cotecna and ARY cases against the president. However, no such plea has so far been filed in the concerned court.

Legal experts note that if the reference is withdrawn then the Supreme Court decision in the NRO case would automatically stand invalid.

On Monday, NAB withdrew certain corruption references against Federal Interior Minister, Rehman Malik.

Syed A. Mateen | 14 years ago | Reply I remember that when NAB was introduced by General (R) Pervez Musharraf he said that NAB is going to nab people. NAB introduced plea bargain. Now NAB has started withdrawing the cases. It is the other side of the same coin. It is time to put a complete BAN on the NAB.
