Imran Khan disqualification case: SC to resume hearing today

Islamabad (Staff Report): A 3-member Supreme Court bench led by Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar, will resume hearing the disqualification case against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan today.

The disqualification petition was moved by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Hanif Abbasi against PTI Chairman Imran Khan and PTI leader Jahangir Tareen.

Abbasi’s petition accuses the PTI leader of not declaring his assets to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and seeks to unseat him based on alleged violations of the Income Tax Ordinance 1979 and Peoples Act 1974.

PTI's counsel, Anwar Mansoor, will resume his arguments today after being absent from previous proceedings owing to a medical leave.

Mansoor is expected to continue from PTI counsel Naeem Bukhari's arguments presenting the money trail of Imran's properties in London and Islamabad.
