Abdul Ghafar, a voter of Mehmood’s constituency PP-241, had approached the high court seeking latter’s disqualification under Article 62(1)(f) for submitting a fake degree to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP). The petitioner had said that Al Khair University confirmed that Mehmood had never been their student. Mehmood had told the ECP that he had graduated from that university. The petitioner had argued that the lawmaker was not sadiq and ameen as per the constitution, which was why he should be disqualified. The IHC, while issuing the orders, directed the ECP to de-notify the lawmaker. Mehmood had secured his seat PP-241 from Bahawalnagar with 48,543 votes in the general elections held in 2018. He had defeated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s Malik Muzaffar Khan who had secured 44,184 votes.
