Pak Supreme Court To Hear Lifetime Disqualification Of Politicians Today
Pakistan's Supreme Court on Monday said it will hear the case of lifetime disqualification of politicians on January 2, to decide, among others, the fate of Nawaz Sharif who is eying a record fourth term as prime minister in the February 8 elections.
The seven-member bench headed by Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa will determine once and for all the controversy around the period of disqualification under Article 62(1)(f) of the Constitution and the amendments in the Elections Act 2017.
A five-member bench of the apex court in a 2018 judgment declared that disqualification under Article 62(I)(f) was for life but changes made in the Elections Act 2017 on June 26 last year by a coalition government led by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) set a bar of five-year only for a disqualified politician.
The Supreme Court would now settle the conflict about the period of disqualification.
