NAB's Withdraws References against Shahid Former PM Khaqan Abbasi

The Accountability Court in Karachi has approved the National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) request to withdraw the reference against former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi. The case pertained to allegations of illegal recruitment in Pakistan State Oil (PSO).

During a recent hearing, the Accountability Court reviewed the reference concerning alleged illegal appointments within PSO. NAB officials had previously accused Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and others of illegally appointing a former Managing Director (MD) of PSO, misusing their authority, and causing damage to the national exchequer.

However, after careful consideration, the court accepted NAB’s request to withdraw the reference. Consequently, the court has ordered that the reference be returned to the NAB chairman for further action.
