PML-N MPA disqualified for failing ‘court exam’ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Monday disqualified a PML-N member of the Punjab Assembly, Iftikhar Ahmed Khan, over fake degree.
The verdict was announced by a three-judge bench over an appeal filed by Iftikhar Ahmed Khan. Akram Sheikh, counsel for Iftikhar Ahmed Khan, argued that the Lahore High Court (LHC) had disqualified his client without taking into consideration all aspects of the case. The bench gave the defendant a paragraph in Arabic language, which was taken from the graduation examination he had already attempted in 2004, and directed him to translate it. On Khan’s failure the bench maintained the decision of the LHC and dismissed the appeal filed against his disqualification. app
