fake degree

ISLAMABAD: A Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) Member of Provincial Assembly (MPA) Chaudhry Kashif Mehmood has been declared ineligible by the Islamabad High Court (IHC) over possessing fake degree, ARY News reported on Friday.

Justice Amir Farooq announced the verdict in the disqualification case in an open court against PML-N’s provincial lawmaker Chaudhry Kashif Mehmood. The high court directed the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to de-seat the legislator.

The court had reserved the verdict on November 5 after the completion of arguments from both sides. The petition had been filed by Abdul Ghaffar that sought disqualification of Mehmood as he had allegedly contested the 2018’s general election on basis of a fake educational degree.

It is pertinent to mention here that Kashif Mehmood had won the election from PP-241 constituency in Bahawalnagar-V during 2018’s general election on the ticket of PML-N. He was also performing as a member of Finance Committee of the Punjab Assembly.
