Constitutional petition filed in Supreme Court against lifetime disqualification
The Supreme Court cannot conduct trial court proceedings under Article 84 (3)
Islamabad: A constitutional petition has been filed in the Supreme Court against the lifelong disqualification of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Jahangir Tareen.
Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) President Ahsan Bhoon has filed a petition seeking the termination of lifetime disqualification penalty against lawmakers. The federal government has been made party in the petition.
The petition contends that there is no right of appeal under Article 84 (3) against the judgment of the court.
The content of the petition said that the rule for lifetime disqualification should only be applied to the extent of electoral disputes.
The petition further demanded the court interpret articles 184 and 99 of the Constitution, while it also asked to make the federal government a partner in this case.
The petition also sought interpretation of Article 62(1)f, opposing the disqualification of a person for life.
