Pakistan's Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed a review petition filed by a Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader seeking disqualification of Prime Minister Imran Khan over non-disclosure of his assets and ownership of offshore companies.
An apex court bench headed by Chief Justice Saqib Nisar dismissed the review petition filed by PML-N leader Hanif Abbasi, saying that "no lawful point has been raised in the petition", Geo TV reported.
During the hearing, Abbasi's lawyer said, "Imran provided documents in pieces which were not verified and not acceptable."
At this, the chief justice said, "The court decides whether it is satisfied with the documents that are submitted and we are satisfied with the ones we received."
Abbasi's lawyer, however, said, "If the court was advised then it would have clarified the law."
In response, Chief Justice Nisar said, "We have clarified the law in our decision."
