The Tribal Areas Rewaj Act was a bill introduced in the National Assembly of Pakistan but later withdrawn by the Government of Pakistan due to widespread opposition. The proposed legislation aimed to merge the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) with the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa over a five-years period.^[1] The act intended to replace the Frontier Crimes Regulations (FCR) and extend the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Pakistan and the Peshawar High Court to FATA.^[2]
