ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court would hear a petition against former federal minister for Industries and Production Makhdoom Khusru Bakhtyar and former provincial finance minister Makhdoom Hashim Jawan Bakht regarding allegedly possessing assets beyond means on Wednesday (today).

The three-member SC bench comprising Justice Ijazul Ahsan, Justice Sayyed Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi and Justice Ayesha A Malik would hear the appeal against the Islamabad High Court (IHC)’s verdict.

The IHC had dismissed Muhammad Ahsan Abid’s writ petition against the PTI.

According to the petitioner, he had submitted a quo warranto writ petition under Article 199 of the Constitution in IHC which was dismissed on 20-10-2020.
