ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court of Pakistan has abolished the lifetime disqualification of parliamentarians under Article 62(1)(f) of the Constitution with a majority of 6-1.
After hearing arguments from all respondents on Monday, Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa pronounced the order which was reserved by a seven-member larger bench on January 5.

The apex court said that the decision of 2018 for lifetime disqualification ‘was withdrawn. Hence, the disqualification of the politicians wouldn’t be for the lifetime”.
However, Justice Yahya Afridi gave the dissenting note in the judgment.
