Shares
*ISLAMABAD - The Supreme Court has announced the verdict in the petition against disqualification of PM Imran Khan.*
*SC has rejected on Thursday Hanif Abbasi’s request to disqualify Prime Minister Imran Khan.*
Filed through his lawyer Akram Sheikh, the request asked for an intra-court appeal under Article 184 (3) of the Constitution. Article 184 (3) empowers the Supreme Court to take action if it considers something is of public importance.
The petitioner wants the case to be heard from scratch, however, the court said it cannot hear the intra-court appeal. An intra-court appeal is when a larger bench reviews the verdict of a smaller bench of the same court.
