DG NAB Shahzad Saleem’s degree was challenged in the apex court last year during the hearing of a suo motu case on alleged illegal appointments in the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

The petitioner had claimed that DG NAB’s master’s degree transcript from 2002 is in the Calibri font which was commercially available only in 2007.

Earlier on Friday, the apex court had fixed Nov 12 date for hearing of the petition and in this regard a notice was also issued to the petitioner. However, the Supreme Court delisted the case today and withdrew its notification sent to the plaintiff.
