On Dec 11, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz filed a petition in the Supreme Court to become party in the cases against the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO). Lawyer Ashtar Ausaf Ali filed the plea to restore an earlier petition moved by Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif in 2007, challenging the National Reconciliation Ordinance. However, then chief justice Abdul Hameed Dogar rejected the petition in February 2008.
