Nawaz files petition in SC to consider clubbing NAB references

ISLAMABAD, Dec 02 (APP)::Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Saturday filed a petition in the Supreme Court (SC) to again consider clubbing of three
National Accountability Bureau (NAB) references against him into one.
Nawaz had earlier petitioned the Supreme Court regarding the clubbing of the references into one but the petition was rejected by the SC Registrar’s office which had referred him to the relevant forum.
In the petition filed Saturday, Nawaz appealed to the apex court to consider the objections raised by the registrar and create a new bench to hear the petition.
Nawaz Sharif in his petition further stated that if a verdict is challenged, then the court has to restart proceedings on the matter.
The application also stated that the apex court, under Article 184(3) of the Constitution, can also declare any verdict as void, hence the earlier ruling on clubbing the references could be considered as void.
