No disqualification of PTI over foreign funding case: CJP

ISLAMABAD: Supreme Court has poured cold water over the aspirations of the PML-N by ruling out the possibility of disqualification of PTI over foreign funding case.

Chief Justice of Pakistan, Justice Saqib Nisar has observed that prohibited funds could be confiscated but there could be no disqualification over the matter as per the law.

The Chief Justice remarked this while hearing disqualification petition against Pakistan Tehreek-e- Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan today.

The three-member bench, which includes Justice Faisal Arab and Justice Umar Ata Bandial, observed on Monday that every political party is answerable over its source of funding according to Article 17 (3) of the Constitution.
