ISLAMABAD: Islamabad High Court (IHC) has reserved judgment on the petition filed against disqualification of member of assembly due to inclusion of his name in 4th schedule.
Justice Amir Farooq of IHC took up for hearing petition filed by an MPA from KP Thursday.
Senior lawyer Babar Awan appeared on behalf of Shah Muhammad, an MPA from PK-89 Bannu in the court.

The learned judge remarked the court will review legal aspect.
The counsel for petitioner further said a member of assembly can be disqualified only under article 62 and 63 of the constitution.
The court reserved the judgment after hearing the arguments.
