For rendering such a role, a party head must necessarily possess the qualifications and be free of the disqualifications contemplated in Articles 62 and 63 of the Constitution."</p><p class="">"The Election Act 2017 empowers a party head to perform multifarious functions that have [a] direct nexus with the process of elections to the Parliament and to matters relating to the affairs of political parties having parliamentary presence," the judgement adds.</p><p class="">"As a consequence, it is declared that any person who suffers from lack of qualification under Article 62 or disqualification under Article 63 of the Constitution is debarred from holding the position of ‘party head’ by whatever name called and prohibited from exercising any of the powers provided in Article 63-A of the Constitution, as ‘party head’ or any other power in the said capacity under any law, rule, regulation, statute, instrument or document of any political party. </p><p class="">'"Such bar and prohibition shall commence from the date of disqualification and continue till such time that the lack of qualification/disqualification of such person continues in terms of the provisions of Articles 62 and 63 of the Constitution," the judgement said.</p><p class="">"As a result of the above declaration, all steps taken, orders passed, directions given and documents issued by Respondent No.4 [Nawaz Sharif] as party head after his disqualification on 28.07.2017 are also declared to have never been taken, passed, given or issued in the eyes of the law. </p><p class="">The Election Commission of Pakistan is accordingly directed to remove the name of Respondent No.4 (Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif) as president/party head of Respondent No.3 (PML-N from all relevant record(s)," the court's verdict read.</p><p class="">Former ECP secretary Kanwar Muhammad Dilshad, while speaking to <em>DawnNews</em>, said that the verdict may not affect the PML-N's registration as a party. However, decisions taken by Nawaz Sharif will be nullified, including the tickets issued by him for the Senate elections, and that a new schedule may have to be announced for Senate polls.</p><p class="">Nawaz Sharif's daughter and PML-N leader Maryam Nawaz <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180223105958/https://twitter.com/MaryamNSharif/status/966339149379915776">reacted to the SC verdict on Twitter</a>, claiming the judgement was in fact a victory for Sharif.</p><p class="">"Nawaz Sharif, you have won.

The elected representatives of the 207 million people are being dubbed as thiefs, robbers and the mafia. Sometimes threats are being hurled that we [judges] will nullify the legislation that you [parliamentarians] have passed."</p><p class="">The CJP today said that he had praised the country's leadership and added that he does not "owe anyone an explanation".</p><hr> <p class=""><em>Correction: An earlier version of this article erroneously stated that the court had declared Article 17 of the Elections Act null and void, which has been corrected.

How come, a disqualified person can lead and make decisions of party having MNAs who are honest? This decision will pave a way to strong party structures and democracy, since political parties must not be hijacked by single family or person? Right now, PML N is ruling the party; entire state machinery, ministers, resources etc. are working for the benefit of Nawaz Shareef instead of masses of Pakistan?

An illegal act by an officeholder constitutes political corruption only if the act is directly related to their official duties, is done under color of law or involves trading in influence. Forms of corruption vary, but include bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, parochialism, patronage, influence peddling, graft, and embezzlement. Corruption may facilitate criminal enterprise such as drug trafficking, money laundering, and human trafficking, though is not restricted to these activities. Misuse of government power for other purposes, such as repression of political opponents and general police brutality, is also considered political corruption. welcome to new pakistan</p> </div> <div class=""> <input type="button" value="Reply" data-name="khanm" class="button button--short mr-2 comment__reply"/> <div class="button button--social" title="Recommend this comment">  <span class="button__label votejs__cast" data-vote-key="1390816/up-5736898">Recommend</span> <span class="button__count votejs__count" data-vote-key="1390816/up-5736898">0</span>  </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="comment pb-4 mb-4 border--bottom" id="5736901" data-id="55"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-11"> <div class="comment__author float-left">Murtaza</div> <div class="timeago comment__date" title="2018-02-21T18:53:12+05:00"><span class="timestamp--time timeago" title="2018-02-21T18:53:12+05:00">Feb 21, 2018 06:53pm</span></div> <div class="comment__body mt-2 size-four clearfix"><p>Thisnis monumental, however votes decide the fate of next govt. and unfortunately most of the public has not been gives access to education to make sane decisions ...</p> </div> <div class=""> <input type="button" value="Reply" data-name="Murtaza" class="button button--short mr-2 comment__reply"/> <div class="button button--social" title="Recommend this comment">  <span class="button__label votejs__cast" data-vote-key="1390816/up-5736901">Recommend</span> <span class="button__count votejs__count" data-vote-key="1390816/up-5736901">0</span>  </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="comment pb-4 mb-4 border--bottom" id="5736903" data-id="56"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-11"> <div class="comment__author float-left">Jaffery</div> <div class="timeago comment__date" title="2018-02-21T18:53:13+05:00"><span class="timestamp--time timeago" title="2018-02-21T18:53:13+05:00">Feb 21, 2018 06:53pm</span></div> <div class="comment__body mt-2 size-four clearfix"><p>Sc judgment is common senses</p> </div> <div class=""> <input type="button" value="Reply" data-name="Jaffery" class="button button--short mr-2 comment__reply"/> <div class="button button--social" title="Recommend this comment">  <span class="button__label votejs__cast" data-vote-key="1390816/up-5736903">Recommend</span> <span class="button__count votejs__count" data-vote-key="1390816/up-5736903">0</span>  </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="comment pb-4 mb-4 border--bottom" id="5736910" data-id="57"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-11"> <div class="comment__author float-left">Muhib E Watan</div> <div class="timeago comment__date" title="2018-02-21T18:54:03+05:00"><span class="timestamp--time timeago" title="2018-02-21T18:54:03+05:00">Feb 21, 2018 06:54pm</span></div> <div class="comment__body mt-2 size-four clearfix"><p>Judiciary zindabad and Pakistan paindabad.

He could have corrected that system for for us but opted to continue with it because he wanted to be among us, probably.

Of course they have, but that will prove the SC right. They did not harm democratic process, just removed some who don't belong there. In order to prove the SC wrong, PMLN will have to loose the elections big time, or make sure elections don't take place. They have all the options in their hands since they are the government, no one has the power to stop them from holding the elections, or from stopping them, or winning them, or loosing them.
