The chief justice issued the directives during his meeting with Chairman NAB Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal in the former's chamber here on Monday.
Justice Nisar said the anti-graft body, while filing a reference, should not insult a citizen. Nab prosecutor Syed Asghar Haider was also present at the meeting.
Last week too, the chief justice had asked the anti-corruption watchdog to not malign the individuals being probed by it.
During a hearing on airing the names on the media of people being inquired by NAB, Justice Nisar had remarked the anti-graft body did not have the authority to declare someone a convict until the charges were proven.
He said the NAB should not consider every other person a thief and refrain from maligning people because their reputation would be ruined, even if they came out clear of the charges pressed against them.
