‘Not a matter of surrender or conquest’: SC says it cannot hear NAB cases, transfers them to FCC

The Supreme Court resolved a jurisdictional issue by clarifying that it lacks authority to hear bail applications in National Accountability Bureau cases, transferring those appeals to the Federal Constitutional Court. This decision underscores the separation of powers within Pakistan’s legal system, ensuring that each court handles cases appropriate to its jurisdiction. By making this ruling, the Supreme Court aims to streamline the legal process and prevent any potential overlaps that might complicate case management. This move is crucial for maintaining the integrity of Pakistan's judicial framework.
