The commission announced the judgment reserved on the plea filed by the Leader of the Opposition in the Senate Dr Shahzad Waseem seeking disqualification of Ishaq Dar for not taking the oath of membership of the Senate within 60 days of the election. The judgment stated that the notification of Ishaq Dar’s success was suspended on March 29, 2018, which was restored after the Supreme Court dismissed the petition.
