The Lahore High Court Multan bench on Wednesday overturned the conviction of former National Assembly member Jamshed Dasti.
Dasti was convicted by a district and sessions judge last week for having a fake degree.
He was sentenced to three years in prison along with a fine of Rs 5,000.
Moreover, Dasti was disqualified to contest the upcoming polls.
He had filed an appeal in Multan High Court against his conviction.
It is unclear whether he will contest the upcoming elections as the election tribunal is yet to decide on his appeal.
The court ordered for his acquittal suspending his sentence.
The lower judiciary and SC should stop this with hunt…..kudos to lhc…..Enough is enough,,,we should not disrespect politicians………just because media hype is created. SC and judiacary should avoid playing to media gallery….
