SC reserves ruling on jurisdictional dispute with FCC over authority to hear bail applications in pending NAB appeals

The Supreme Court in Pakistan has paused its decision on whether it should retain the power to hear bail requests in ongoing cases brought before the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), or if these should be redirected to the newly formed Federal Constitutional Court. This jurisdictional tug-of-war is crucial as it tests the balance of power between the judiciary and the new constitutional amendments. The outcome could reshape how bail applications are processed in accountability cases, impacting the broader judicial landscape and the rights of those implicated in corruption cases.
