190 million case: Imran Khan pleads acquittal after Supreme Court verdict on NAB amendments case

RAWALPINDI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan on Saturday demanded acquittal in the Rs 190 million case after the Supreme Court verdict in the NAB amendments case.

During today's hearing at the accountability court in Rawalpindi's Adiala Jail, the PTI founder filed a petition seeking acquittal in the case that accused Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, of causing billions of rupees in losses to the national exchequer.

The former prime minister's lawyer told the court that the 190 million case is no longer valid after the verdict as all cabinet decisions are protected by the NAB amendments.

“The question here is whether the accountability court has jurisdiction in this matter or not after the NAB amendments,” the lawyer said.

The NAB prosecutor said during the hearing that if the court had jurisdiction over the case, then the acquittal plea could be heard.

The PTI founder's lawyer said the court's jurisdiction was not in dispute. He added that it was the court's discretion to decide on its jurisdiction.

The accountability court then adjourned the hearing on Khan's acquittal plea till September 10.

The PTI founder filed the appeal after the Supreme Court ruled on Friday that it had accepted the intra-court appeals filed against the majority judgment of September 15, 2023, quashing the amendments to the National Accountability Ordinance (NAO).

A five-member bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faiz Isa, accepted the intra-judicial appeals filed by the federal and provincial governments against the September 15 judgment.

Announcing the verdict, the Supreme Court noted that the PTI founder could not prove that the NAB amendments were unconstitutional.

The verdict was reserved on June 6 following multiple appeals against the Supreme Court's September 15 verdict, announced by the then CJP Umar Ata Bandial.

The majority judgment struck down certain amendments to the National Accountability Order (NAO) 1999.

The amendments to the National Accountability (Second Amendment) Act, 2022 were passed in a joint session of Parliament in April 2022 under the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM)-led government that came to power after ousting former Prime Minister Khan through a no-confidence motion in 2022.

It amended sections 2, 4, 5, 6, 25 and 26 of the NAB Acts, however, nine of the ten amendments were declared “null and void” by the CJP Bandial-led bench on the PTI founder’s petition filed in June 2022.
