Pakistan: Major relief to Shehbaz Sharif, Supreme Court reinstates changes in anti-corruption laws

Islamabad: In a major relief to former PM Nawaz Sharif, Pakistan’s Supreme Court in a unanimous decision on Friday reinstated the changes in the country’s anti-corruption laws that had benefited several leading politicians, including the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo. The court overturned a previous ruling that nullified amendments to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) laws that restored corruption cases against public representatives.
