ISLAMABAD, (DNA) –  The Supreme Court is all set to announce today the much-awaited verdict on the petitions filed by PML-N leader Hanif Abbasi seeking disqualification of PTI chief Imran Khan and secretary general Jehangir Tareen for not disclosing their assets and ownership of offshore companies.

Headed by Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar a three-judge bench had earlier on November 14 reserved the verdict after hearing arguments of the counsels for the parties concerned.

The bench that also comprised of Justice Umer Ata Bandial and Justice Faisal Arab is going to announce the verdict at 2:00pm today, deciding the political fate of the PTI chief and its general secretary.

The opposition PTI and the ruling PML-N have been keenly waiting for the judgment for weeks because it has attained immense significance after the disqualification of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif in the Panama Papers case.

Advocate Naeem Bukhari, the counsel for Imran Khan, had said in his concluding arguments that his client’s case was different from that of Panama Papers as there was no question of money going out of the country, but the PTI chief could not manage his accounts properly.

He argued Abbasi alleged in his petition that Khan did not disclose his assets in the nomination papers for the 2002 election, but no one raised any objection in this regard at the time of submission of the papers.
