The SC has given another 90 days, starting today, for parliament to either turn it into an act of parliament or watch it dissolve into nothingness. But the real question is not about what happens on this front but whether the benefits taken under NRO are legal in nature; are they transactions that shall be treated as past and closed transactions even if the ordinance is allowed to lapse or will they become alive once the ordinance dies. This critical issue is likely to be decided through petitions like the one already filed by Roedad Khan and others and many more likely to flood the courts in the coming days. And according to sources, Jamaat-e-Islami and PTI are all set to file petitions in this regards in the coming week. Like they say the devil is in the details and come the detailed judgement of the apex court, life may become far tougher for many in the coming days.
