Supreme Court takes back 'voluntary return' powers from NAB

[WebGuru]

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court took away powers of voluntary return from the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairman as it resumed hearing the suo moto case on Monday.

Justice Ameer Hani said that these powers promoted a culture of corruption in NAB.

The ‘voluntary return and plea bargain’ section in NAB allows the bureau to discharge an individual from ‘all his liability’ in the matter. Simply put, it lets an individual pay back the amount he has embezzled to the public kitty and the case closes then and there.

Chief Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali maintained that NAB was exercising powers that even the court was not entitled to. “A person can visit the NAB office, settle the matter over a cup of coffee, and save his job,” the CJ said.

Justice Azmat Saeed Sheikh said that NAB was like a person standing in a busy marketplace screaming “Do corruption and then return it voluntarily”.

“If a case goes to the FIA there is no option of voluntary return, but the same case in NAB has the option of voluntary return. Isn’t this unfair?” he said.

He added that bureaucrats who are being investigated are actually getting promotions.

Justice Ameer Hani said that individuals involved in voluntary return include parliamentarians.

The CJ said that whoever made this law should be ashamed of himself. “People in foreign countries laugh at us. Is this how a country is governed?” he said.

The hearing was adjourned till November 7.

History is with IK, and those defending these crooks should be embarrassed and ashamed of themselves.

What happened to SC order?

Mushtaq Raisani 'cleared' by NAB

QUETTA: The country’s top anti-graft watchdog has accepted the plea bargain application of former finance secretary Mushtaq Raisani who has offered to return Rs2 billion to the national exchequer.

Raisani was taken into custody on May 6, 2016 after a team of the National Accountability Bureau recovered sensitive documents and Rs603 million in cash during a raid at his residence.

According to NAB authorities, Raisani and contractor Sohail Majeed had submitted plea bargain applications which were approved during the conference of the executive board with NAB Chairman Qamar Zaman Chaudhry in the chair in Islamabad. The accused, who have confessed to their crime, are willing to return Rs2 billion to the national exchequer.

A huge amount to the tune of Rs2.25 billion had been released for local government development – but the lion’s share was allegedly embezzled by Raisani and his cronies who are currently on judicial remand.

NAB has completed its investigations in the multibillion-rupee corruption scandal.

Mushtaq Raisani has property worth Billions all over Pakistan.


This is supreme accountability. Do 20 billion corruption spend few days in custody, return 2 billion and than enjoy rest of your life.


They love NRO, Amnesty schemes, Plea bargain.


Islam and Rule of Law are just there for exploitation.
