Daniyal Aziz files appeal in SC against his conviction

Author: inp

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) Leader and former privatisation minister Danyal Aziz on Saturday filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of Pakistan against his conviction and subsequent disqualification from contesting elections over a contempt-of-court case.

On June 28, the apex had held PMLN Leader Daniyal Aziz in contempt of court and sentenced him until the rising of the court, which had rendered him disqualified for a period of five years under Article 63 of the Constitution.

Following the verdict, Aziz’s legal counsel had announced that his client would file a review petition in the Supreme Court.

More than a month after that verdict, Aziz filed his appeal today.
