The Balochistan High Court has ruled that Sardar Yar Muhammad Rind, the provincial president of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), is not eligible to contest the general elections.
An appellate tribunal and returning officer (RO) had rejected Rind's nomination papers for submitting a fake degree and being nominated in several first information reports (FIRs) in murder and kidnapping cases. The high court has now upheld those decisions.
If it's any consolation for the Imran Khan-led party, the Balochistan president of the PPP was disqualified from contesting the poll by the same court just a day earlier.
