The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed a review petition filed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Jahangir Tareen who had challenged his disqualification.
During the hearing, the counsel of Tareen submitted the trust deed that was earlier sought by the court. However, in his remarks, Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar said, “We had asked for these documents during the case hearing and you failed to produce these at that time. Now is there any room for review after submission of documents now,” he asked.
On December 15, a three-judge bench headed by the chief justice had disqualified PTI leader Jahangir Tareen under Article 62(1)(f) of the constitution for deliberately submitting a false statement in the Supreme Court to conceal his property in the United Kingdom.
