Govt. to file review petition today against denying more time
The government will file a review petition today against the decision of the Supreme Court to deny more time to the government in NRO review case. The Supreme Court has returned the NAB report with objections which was submitted in NRO Implementation Case; however, the petition has again been filed after removing objections.
It is maintained in the government petition that it was a wrong perception that the government was using delaying tactics and denying time for change of lawyer would be equal to depriving of the right of review. It is also maintained in the petition that it was not an ordinary thing to issue notification about Kamal Azfar on a holiday and appointment of Kamal as an advisor and replacement of lawyer were solid reason for asking more time from the court. The Court had ordered to take back notification of Kamal Azfar and denied more time to the government in NRO review case.
