PESHAWAR: The government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) filed a petition in Supreme Court of Pakistan seeking live telecast of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Ordinance 1999 amendment case, here on Monday.
According to media reports, Additional Attorney General Kausar Ali Shah filed a petition asserting that while public interest cases are typically live streamed by Bench I, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) amendment case was not, which amounts to discriminatory behavior.
The government has requested that the court mandate a live broadcast of the proceedings.
It is important to note that the Supreme Court had previously allowed a video-link facility for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder in the NAB Ordinance 1999 amendment case.

However, the proceedings of the case were not live streamed on the Supreme Court’s YouTube channel.
Later, the leaked pictures, which showed PTI founder Imran Khan sitting in Adiala Jail were widely shared on social media platforms.
