ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhary has constituted a 17-member larger bench to take up a pending review plea of the federation over annulled National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) on November 21.
The larger bench would be headed by the Chief Justice. Notices have also been issued to all concerned.The NRO review petition was taken up for hearing on April 19 but it was adjourned. The case could not be fixed as the requisite strength of 17- member bench was not completed.
The plea was moved by the federation seeking review of apex Court’s verdict which had struck down the NRO on December 16, 2009.
The respondent also wanted Court’s permission to change its counsel to argue its viewpoint.
