The Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed a petition against senior Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Ishaq Dar that sought his disqualification from the Senate for being an absconder in the corruption cases against him.
During the hearing, Justice Ijazul Ahsan said petitioner Nawazish Peerzada failed to appear before the court, whereas Dar has also not been appearing since the start of the proceedings. Therefore, the court was dismissing the petition.
After Tuesday’s ruling, the notification for Dar’s victory will be issued and he will be bound to take oath within 60 days as per the new ordinance issued by the government earlier this year.
