Hasba bill
The Hasba bill (Urdu: حسبہ قانون; accountability bill) was legislation proposed by members of the provincial assembly of the North-West Frontier Province, Pakistan. The political party in power in the province at that time was the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA), which was an alliance of six religious parties endorsing a system of Islamic law (sharia). In 2003 the Hasba bill was approved by the same assembly; which mandates sharia in the province. The Hasba bill sought official recognition for the implementation of sharia (hisbah); hence the name of the bill.
