QUETTA: The Balochistan High Court (BHC) here on Monday disqualified Provincial Minister for Industries Syed Ahsan Shah over possession of fake degree.
During proceedings of a case lodged by the National Party’s (NP) Dr Yaseen with the BHC, the two member bench comprising Justice Jamal Mandokhel and Justice Ghulam Mustafa Mengal declared Ahsan Shah disqualified.
The provincial minister contested elections in 2008 and won the Balochistan Assembly’s PB-48 Kech-I seat.
Earlier in August, former speaker of the Balochistan Assembly Mir Zahoor Hussain Khosa was sentenced to two years in prison for possessing a fake degree by a district and sessions judge.
