Alrighty, so lemme tell ya about this wild situation goin’ down with the legality of the NBR bill. So, the National Board of Revenue decided to split the whole shebang into two divisions with the release of an ordinance called ‘Revenue Policy’ and ‘Revenue Management’. And lemme tell ya, the validity of this whole shebang is being challenged in the High Court.
Now, this cool cat named Juwel Azad, a lawyer at the Supreme Court, decided to file a writ petition in the High Court. He dropped this bombshell on Saturday, saying that Chief Justice Fatema Najib and Justice Shikdar Mahmudur might just decide to hear this petition.
This whole drama unfolded on the 12th of May when the ordinance was dropped like a hot potato. The writ basically questions why this ordinance won’t be declaring any conflicting or unconstitutional statements with the Constitution. They wanna know the deal before they go ahead and implement this rule.
So, they put the Secretary of Law and the Secretary of Finance on blast with this writ petition. Juwel Azad later spilled the tea, saying that this ordinance was issued without any discussions with the stakeholders. They’re not scrapping it, just tryna fix it up a bit.
And that’s the scoop on the NBR splitting into two divisions and the ordinance being dropped without consulting the peeps involved. Let’s see how this all plays out in the end.
Alright, that’s the lowdown on the NBR bill fiasco. Stay tuned for more updates as this story unfolds. Peace out!
