A 17-member larger bench of the Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry will take up today (Monday) the government’s review petition against the apex court’s December 16, 2009 verdict, which declared the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) unconstitutional. The review petition against the NRO verdict had come up for hearing before the court on April 19, 2011, however it was adjourned. Later, the case could not be fixed as the requisite strength for a 17-member bench was not available. Attorney General Moulvi Anwarul Haq and others concerned will appear on notice. Just after declaring the NRO unconstitutional in December 2009, the court had ordered revival of all the cases, which had been disposed of under the NRO.
The ordinance was promulgated by former president General (r) Pervez Musharraf, who granted amnesty to politicians, political workers and bureaucrats accused of corruption, embezzlements, money laundering, murder, and terrorism between January 1, 1986 to October 12, 1999- the time between the two regimes of military rule. “The NRO is against the interests of the country, hence all the provincial governments and prosecutors must help courts in NRO cases, as all the beneficiaries of the ordinance have to face trial,” the court had ruled after declaring the NRO unconstitutional. Cases buried under the NRO revived after the ordinance’s annulment, including corruption and money laundering cases against President Asif Ali Zardari.
