He was sentenced to three years in prison along with a fine of Rs 5,000. Jamshed Dasti was also disqualified to contest the upcoming polls.

If anyone wants to buy the judiciary... go to Punjab, all is possible. What is the point of a court of law convicting someone and then another court of law at the same level overturn. LHC should also clearly give a summary of their decision to the Press to show the grounds of overturning the decision.
There is lots of videos and mms clips of Mr Dasti and the likes of him on the social media - hopefully, the voters will not be fooled.
