Khwaja Asif’s disqualification plea to be heard by larger bench

A larger bench was constituted by the Islamabad High Court on Saturday to hear the petition seeking disqualification of Foreign Minister Khwaja Asif.

A petition by Pakistan Tehreek E Insaaf’s Usman Dar had been submitted in the IHC regarding the dismisal of the former defence minister’s dismissal from his post.

In an initial verdict, the court said that the matter has been referred to Chief Justice for the constitution of larger bench.

It was learnt that the CJ IHC has formed a larger bench which will hear the case on Sept 26.

The larger bench consists of Justice Amir Farooq, Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kiyani and Justice Mian Gul Hasan Aurangzeb.

PTI’s Dar had filed the petition against Asif on the basis of his Iqama.

Responding to the allegations, Asif had earlier said the salary he received through the Iqama had been declared with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and Federal Bureau of Revenue for the last 27 years.

Dar, who lost the 2013 General Elections to Asif in the NA-110 constituency, said Asif did not declare his Iqama [contract] and employment with the company in the nomination papers he filed with the ECP.
