A three-member bench of the Supreme Court will hear a review petition filed against the apex court verdict exonerating Prime Minister Imran Khan in a disqualification case on October 18.
The review petition has been filed by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Hanif Abbasi, who is serving a jail sentence in the ephedrine quota case.
The bench will be headed by Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar.
The Supreme Court mentioned in its judgment that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief was not liable to declare his offshore company, Niazi Services Ltd, in his 2013 nomination papers as he was not a shareholder nor a director of the said company at that time. The court also ruled that Imran Khan provided sufficient money trail vindicating his claims of Bani Gala property’s purchase price.
