SC seeks super tax record from high courts

The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed all high courts to submit records of pending cases related to the super tax and adjourned the hearing until May 19.

A five-member Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Justice Aminuddin Khan, was hearing the matter as former senator Advocate Raza Rabbani, Counsel for the FBR, concluded his arguments before the bench.

Rabbani referred to various judicial precedents during his submissions regarding imposition of the super tax. Justice Mandokhail inquired about the Senate's opinion on the super tax. Rabbani responded that the Senate had raised no objections regarding the levy.
