Supreme Court of Pakistan on Saturday granted Sumaira Malik permission to contest election to National Assembly from Khushab's NA-93 constituency. Malik will contest elections on Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz's ticket. She was disqualified over fake degree and later she had filed review petition in SC Karachi Registry.
Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Saqib Nisar remarked during hearing that no woman can be tagged burglar without investigation. He said Malik's picture on educational document has been proven original by forensic report. He said picture can't be declared fake without a formal probe into the matter.
Sumaira Malik had contested election from Khushab NA-93 in 2008. However, in 2013, she was declared ineligible in the fake degree case by then CJP Iftikhar Chaudhry.
