The Supreme Court has rejected plea to disqualify Imran Khan and declared PTI’s key party leader Jahangir Tareen disqualified on the petitions filed by PML-N leader Hanif Abbasi.
The three-member bench had reserved the verdict against the two PTI leaders on November 14. The decision was expected to be announced at 2pm today but took around an hour-and-a-half’s delay.
As the judges took their seats, Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Mian Saqib Nisar apologised for the delay and explained that there was a mistake on one page so all 250 pages of the judgment had to be read again.
He remarked further that the judgment should be heard with patience, adding that all the evidence was examined carefully.
