ISLAMABAD: Attorney General Ashtar Ausaf Ali said on Friday that there is no law according to which the prime minister can file an appeal against today’s decision of the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Friday disqualified Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for failing to disclose his un-withdrawn receivables, constituting assets from UAE-based Capital FZE in his nominations papers for the 2013 elections.
The AG said Nawaz Sharif may consider filing a review request with the bench.
Addressing the media outside the court, Ali said the combined decision of the bench was according to his expectations.
“All three judges of the implementation bench gave separate reasons for their decision,” he added.
According to the attorney general, the prime minister’s iqama [work permit] was the reason for his disqualification.
