ISLAMABAD: CJP Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry on Wednesday constituted a 17-member full Supreme Court bench to hear the government’s review petition against the NRO judgement from October 13.

The court had then adjourned hearing of the NRO implementation case until October 13, holding that it would start hearing on the review petition the same day (October 13).
