ISLAMABAD: Former law minister Babar Awan will be representing the federal government in the politically explosive review petition against the NRO judgment which a full-court of the Supreme Court – comprising all the 17 judges – will be hearing on Monday next.
Advocate Muhammad Ramzan Chaudhry told reporters on Friday that Dr Awan had been officially nominated to plead the government’s point of view before the apex court in the pending plea moved by the government to seek review of the court’s judgment holding illegal the controversial National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO).
Dr Awan, who is already representing the government in the presidential reference on reopening of Z.A. Bhutto’s trial, is likely to file an application before the apex court on Saturday seeking permission to represent the government in the NRO case as well.
