Federal government on Tuesday submitted the Swiss letter draft in Supreme Court.
Law Minister Farooq H. Naek appeared before the Supreme Court and presented the draft of a letter to be sent to the Swiss authorities relating to alleged graft cases against President Asif Ali Zardari.
On September 18, Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf had assured the apex court that he had authorized the law minister to take steps in NRO implementation case.
Supreme Court took a 15-minute break to review draft of the letter, however, the law minister asked the bench to adjourn the hearing for a day.
Naek sought more time to consult various points with the government that have emerged during review of the draft by the bench.
Later, the bench adjourned the case hearing till September 26.
The allegations against Zardari date back to the 1990s, when he and his late wife, former premier Benazir Bhutto, are suspected of laundering $12 million allegedly paid in bribes by companies seeking customs inspection contracts.
Former prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani was thrown out of office in June after being convicted of contempt of court for refusing to write to the Swiss.
The standoff between government and judiciary began in December 2009, when judges issued a ruling that scrapped an amnesty that had allowed Zardari and 8,000 other people to escape possible corruption charges.
More than 30 politicians had cases against them withdrawn under the amnesty, which was passed in October 2007 by then-president Pervez Musharraf.
