ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday set aside the order of Peshawar High Court (PHC) directing the National Accountability Bureau to probe different aspects of Peshawar Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) project. A three-member SC bench, headed by Justice Umar Ata Bandial, allowed the appeal of the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government and the Peshawar Development Authority (PDA), challenging the order, passed by the PHC on July 17, 2018, directing NAB and the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to conduct an inquiry into different aspects of the project.
