The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a challenge to former PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi’s candidature to contest the July 25 general elections from the NA-57 constituency in Murree, clearing the way for him to participate in the upcoming election from his hometown.

The court expressed its displeasure at the petition, stating that the petitioner was interfering in something he was not supposed to.

The petitioner intended to derail the judicial process since he had been unable to produce any evidence to establish his grievance before the court, the apex court observed.
