Khawaja Asif to challenge disqualification verdict in SC

Khawaja Asif to challenge disqualification
Khawaja Asif has announced that he will challenge the Islamabad High Court (IHC) verdict which disqualified him in the Supreme Court.

The IHC ruled that Asif was disqualified from Parliament for holding an Iqama (work permit) of the United Arab Emirates.

IHC ruled that Khawaja Asif was not qualified to contest the 2013 general election from NA 110 as he did not fulfil the conditions described under Article 62(1)(f) of the constitution, read with section 99(1)(f) of the Act of 1976.

Under the verdict, Asif will be unable to hold public or party office.
