Accountability returned six rental power plant references against former Prime Minister & current National Assembly Speaker Raja Pervaiz Ashraf back to the National Accountability Bureau declaring them not maintainable under the fresh changes in the related law.
The court observed that it could no longer hear these cases after the amendments to the accountability law. The six references included those of Reshma, Gulf, Samundri, Ratu Dero, and Satyana rental power projects.
Judge Asghar Ali announced the petition challenging these references under NAB Amendment Act, 2022. The judge stated that after the many long amendments in the law, these references did not fall under the jurisdiction of the accountability court.
Similarly, in February this year, an accountability court filed a Power Plant corruption case by NAB against Ashraf and others involved in Rental Power cases
