Law Minister Babar Awan and Attorney-General Pakistan Anwar Mansoor

ISLAMABAD: Attorney-General Pakistan has opposed the government’s decision to file a review petition regarding the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) verdict in the Supreme Court, ‘The Statesmen’ has learnt.

Sources close to Attorney-General Anwar Mansoor quoted him as saying that since the review petition carries a very slim chance of any success, therefore the government should not go ahead with it.

The Attorney-General said the review petition will further complicate matters for the government.

However, Law Minister Babar Awan did not agree with the Attorney-General’s advice.

Sources say due to differences between the Law Minister and the Attorney-General, the government has yet to file the review petition.
