Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar Monday said that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) estranged leader Jahangir Khan Tareen cannot benefit from the new law regarding the review of judgements.
Talking to media Tarar said that the Supreme Court (Review of Judgements and Orders) Bill 2023 will not benefit Nawaz and Tareen as they both have exercised their right of review against their sentences.
He said that the court’s verdict was considered the final one under Article 184(3), stating that “there is no room for revision or curative review in our law”.
“Under the new law, common people would be given relief under Article 184(3),” he added.
The federal minister further said that a debate had taken place in the National Assembly regarding the Supreme Court (Review of Judgements and Orders) Act. “The debate was broadcasted live when the Act was presented in the National Assembly and Senate.”
A review petition can be filed for any case under the newly-approved bill, he added.
