The Supreme Court has fixed the federal government’s appeal on Monday for the withdrawal of its curative review petition against a court order that accepted the review petitions challenging the court’s June 19, 2020, judgement on the presidential reference against Justice Qazi Faez Isa in which the court had empowered the Federal Board of Revenue to conduct an inquiry into the assets of the judge’s family. Chief Justice of Pakistan Umar Ata Bandial would conduct an in-chamber hearing.
Earlier, the registrar’s office had returned a set of nine curative review petitions on May 25, 2021 filed by the PTI-led government on the grounds that the petitions contained “scandalous language”.
