ISLAMABAD: (PAKISTAN): Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry on Wednesday remarked that the court’s decision on the NRO was not being implemented.
The remarks came as the Supreme Court resumed the hearing the two cases pertaining to the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO).
A 17-judge full court was hearing the cases regarding the implementation of the court's verdict on the NRO and the government’s review petition in this respect.
Former Attorney-General Latif Khosa was representing the federation in the cases.
“I have been appointed the government’s lawyer in the NRO cases,” DawnNews quoted Latif Khosa as saying.
Khosa said he had been issued a letter of authority by the law ministry to defend the government in the NRO cases.
During the course of the hearing, the court ordered Latif Khosa to file a separate application for change of counsel.
The government then filed another review petition seeking change in counsel that was earlier rejected by the apex court.
The court had rejected the government’s plea for changing its lawyer in the NRO review case and had refused to allow more time to the government.
