LHC dismisses pleas against commuting lifetime disqualification

LAHORE – The Lahore High Court on Friday dismissed the petitions against decreasing the lifetime disqualification period to five years by parliament.

Lahore High Court's Justice Shahid Bilal Hasan announced the reserved decision on the petitions filed by Advocate Azhar Siddique and citizen Shabbir Ismail. The court said the applications were non-maintainable. The petitioner, in his appeal, had taken the stance that parliament had amended the law of disqualification for life by reducing it to five years.

According to the rules, the law on lifetime disqualification could not be amended by parliament through specific members. The petitioner contended that passage of law by parliament was a violation of Supreme Court rulings. He said the lifetime disqualification was made under Article 62 of the Constitution and the apex court had already elaborated the said article.

The petitioner prayed to the LHC that court should declare the law reducing the disqualification period to five years null and void.Parvez Elahi suffers multiple injuries after falling in Adiala Jail, say reportsRailways planning to run special trains on Eid
