NRO case: SC declares govt’s reply inadmissible

The Supreme Court on Tuesday declared inadmissible the government’s reply in the NRO implementation case. The reply, submitted by Attorney General Irfan Qadir, was subsequently returned with objections. Earlier, submitting its reply in the Supreme Court, the federal government had stated that the prime minister can not write the letter to authorities in Switzerland to reopen cases against President Asif Ali Zardari. The reply had stated that under the Constitution, the advice of the federal cabinet was binding on the prime minister and that the cabinet had not given any such recommendation to the premier. The reply moreover requested the court to review its ruling of July 12. The government moreover stated that the seven-judge bench did not have the authority to summon the prime minister. It further said that the so-called second option pertaining to initiating proceedings against the premier could no longer be applied.
