ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) – The Supreme Court on Wednesday suspended election tribunal s decision and restored membership of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly member Sardar Ikramullah Gandapur.

A three member bench of the Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice Nasirul Mulk heard the case.

Gandapur had won KP Assembly seat through by-election in PK-67 constituency of Dera Ismail Khan. The seat was vacated after the death of his brother Israrulah Gandapur in a suicide attack.

The election tribunal had disqualified Gandapur on charges of holding a fake degree. His election was challenged by rival candidate Fatehullah Miankhel.

While hearing Gandapur’s plea today, the apex court suspended election tribunal s decision and restored his membership.
