Supreme Court to hear petition seeking PM's disqualification on October 11

07 Oct, 2018

A hearing has been set by the Supreme Court on review petition filed by Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz's (PML-N) Hanif Abbasi seeking disqualification of Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan over non-disclosure of assets and ownership of offshore companies.
As per details garnered, a three-member bench will assume hearing on October 10. The review petition states, "the facts relating to the Bani Gala land clearly show that the Respondent No. 1 was pursuing a deliberate plan to ensure that he could obtain the property as Benami and that there should be no public record of him acquiring the property directly in his own name in the revenue records".
Back then in December 2017, then chief minister dismissed Abbasi's petition stating that the petitioner was not directly affected in the foreign funding case. The judgment further stated that Imran wasn't bound to declare his offshore company.
