ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court will resume hearing the disqualification case against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan today.

A three-judge bench, headed by Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar and comprising Justice Umar Ata Bandial and Justice Faisal Arab, is conducting proceedings into Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Hanif Abbasi?s petition seeking Imran?s disqualification for concealing his assets and the ?foreign funding? of his party.

During Tuesday?s hearing, the court observed that nobody could be unseated from Parliament for filing a false declaration regarding party funds.

The chief justice observed that under the Political Parties Act, no one could be disqualified for filing a fake certificate regarding party funds. Similarly, he said that in the Representation of Peoples Act, nothing is mentioned regarding the consequence of filing a false declaration of party assets.

The bench was responding to claims by the PML-N leader?s counsel that the PTI received funds from dubious sources and thus its chief should be disqualified for not being ?sadiq? and ?amin? as he hid the true sources of party funds.

Abbasi?s counsel, Akram Sheikh, will continue his arguments today.
