Imran Khan declared the Federation and NAB as parties in his petition against the amendment of NAB rules. A three-member bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Umar Atta Bandial pronounced this decision by a majority of two to one, while Justice Mansoor Ali Shah, who was part of this bench, wrote a dissenting note disagreeing with this decision. The Supreme Court said in its verdict that all the courts including NAB should decide on sending the pending cases to the competent courts in a week.
