MPA Malik Behram Khan over impersonation in his graduation examination and ordered by-elections in his constituency, PK-93, Dir III.
"Throw the bum out! Bailiff, order a by-election!"
The tribunal chief, Shah Jee Rehman, issued an order for Malik Behram's disqualification over the petition of his rival candidate, Sahibzada Sanaullah of Pakistain People's Party.
"He wudn't the guy who got his degree!"
"Izzat so?"
The tribunal observed that an inquiry conducted by the University of Malakand proved that Malik Behram had impersonated in the graduation examination and therefore, the MPA was not sagacious and virtuous in terms of articles 62 and 63 of the Constitution of Pakistain.
"Sagacious and virtuous?" Pak pols?
Malik Behram was elected MPA from PK-93 Upper Dir--III during the 2013 general elections. He had received 13,580 votes against runner-up Sahibzada Sanaullah's 9,799 votes.
"I'm here to sit for my exams!"
"Say, didn't you used to be about four inches taller?"
Last year, the tribunal had dismissed the election petition as at that time, the university had not conducted inquiry into the matter.
"...and have black hair..."
The petitioner later moved the Supreme Court against that.
"... and a mustache?"
In the meantime, the university cancelled the degree of Malik Behram over impersonation observing that in his place, different people had appeared in the examination of graduation Part 1 and Part 2 in 2005 and 2007, respectively.
"And weren't you a guy?"
