Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry issued the order today.
MPA Samina Khawar Hayat had contested the 2008 elections with a fake BBA degree.
The Regional Election Commission had earlier submitted a complaint against Hayat and sought “strict action” against her for lying to the election commission.
Hayat, who was elected to a seat reserved for women in the provincial assembly, had submitted a BBA Degree issued by Riphah International University, Islamabad. The degree, according to the election commission, was declared fake by the Higher Education Commission.
Her counsel had then given the commission a copy of a certificate stating that she had completed her BBA from Preston Institute of Management Science and Technology (PIMSAT), Karachi. However, upon verification that degree too turned out to be forged.

ET, my comments have been deleted by PTI moderator. I had compared Samina Khawar Hayat of PMLQ with Ayla Malik & Ghulam Sarwar Khan of PTI.
@Ahmed: "We don’t want liars to be leading us!!!" Then we won't have any legislators at all!!! All are liars one way or the other.
sharifs have authentic degrees from punjab university the most prestigious...
it's not about topping the charts or not topping the charts,PML N is full of fake degree holders,tax evaders,electricity thieves and what not but hail the Chief Justice whose suo moto factory remains closed when it comes to his beloved PML N and the Sharifs
Why doesn't SC take the same action against N-league MPAs ?
Is PMLQ still a party????
@Haseeb now PTI is also topping the charts along with other parties.
Jail Jail Jail Jail
Great to know that there are no fake degree holders in PML-N,the most pious party of pakistan
@H.A. Khan:
1- Also punish the officials involved who failed to recognize her degree
It also implies there is a gap between party leadership and members; the party leaders are ignorant of their member activities
Good decision: Process must continue.
We don't want liars to be leading us!!!
@Dear ET,
Samina Khawar Hayat can either be a legislator of Pakistan Muslim League - Quaid or PML-N, not both!!!! Please correct your citing in the first line of this report.
