ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday reserved its judgment in a case challenging the eligibility of Foreign Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif as member of the parliament.

A three-member larger bench comprising of Justice Athar Minallah, Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Mohsin Akhter Kiyani resumed hearing of the petition filed by Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) leader Usman Dar.

During the course of proceedings, the counsel for Khawaja Asif informed the court that his client had worked as part time adviser to a bank. However, the petitioner’s counsel Sikandar Bashir said the minister had worked full time with IMECL Company.

After hearing the arguments from both sides, the court reserved its judgment.
