GILGIT: Gilgit-Baltistan’s Chief Court Tuesday disqualified Chief Minister Khalid Khursheed in a fake degree case.
The verdict on the plea filed by Ghulam Shahzad Agha, a member of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) in the GB Assembly, was announced by a three-member larger bench consisting of Justice Malik Inayat Ur Rehman, Justice Jauhar Ali, and Justice Mushtaq Muhammad.
Ghulam Shahzad Agha, a member of the GB Assembly from the PPP, had challenged CM Khan’s law degree and had sought his disqualification under Article 62 and 63 of the constitution of Pakistan.
On May 29, Chief Judge Ali Baig constituted the larger bench, consisting of judges Malik Anayatur Rehman, Johar Ali, and Mohammad Mushtaq, with instructions to conduct day-to-day hearings and conclude the case within 14 days.
The bench has given its verdict today by disqualifying the Chief Minister.
