Supreme Court of Pakistan is going to announce its verdict which was saved on February 15, 2018 on this issue related to the disqualification period under Article 62 (1) F at 11AM today (13 April 2018). Nawaz Sharif (PMLN) and Jahangir Tareen Khan (PTI) were disqualified under this Article.
What is going to be the decision of the Supreme Court? For how long Nawaz Sharif and Jahangir Tareen will be disqualified?
Short answer is we don’t know.
However, since Nawaz Sharif’s disqualification is involved, therefore based on the previous sympathetic attitude of Supreme Court towards Nawaz Sharif, our inclination is that period will be minimum possible.
During the case proceeding an eight year period was suggested by the attorneys involved in the case. Previously, people who were disqualified under Article 62 (1) F, they were disqualified for life. What verdict Supreme Court gives in this case we will have to wait and see.
Constitutional law experts have varied kind of interpretation of this Article and the punishment of disqualification. And every person seems to make us believe that he is right in his explanation. Obviously Supreme Court has the final say so we will have to wait for their verdict.
