ISLAMABAD:

The Constitutional Bench has reinstated the Sales Tax Amendment Act for the formerly FATA and PATA, suspending the Peshawar High Court's earlier verdict that had nullified the act.

The case concerning the exemption granted under the Sixth Schedule of the Sales Tax Act for residents of FATA and PATA was heard on Wednesday by the five-member Constitutional Bench, headed by Justice Amin-ud-Din Khan. Other members of the bench included Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail, Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar, Justice Syed Hasan Azhar Rizvi, and Justice Shahid Bilal Hassan.
