The decision by the election tribunal to disqualify him on the basis of a fake degree was declared null and void.
Rehman contested in the PK-54 constituency during the May 11, 2013 general elections.
In October, the election tribunal had disqualified Rehman over a fake degree from a seminary in Gotki, Sindh. It had declared the MPA disqualified for seven years and asked the Election Commission to hold new elections, The News had reported.
Rehman had stated that he will go to the Supreme Court against the tribunal’s decision, adding that his degree was valid and would prove it before the apex court, the newspaper further reported.

Better yet! PMLn should give all it's candidate "Honorary Degrees" as soon as possible to burry this issue once and for all.
PTI Media Cell in full action. They submit the comments as if they have no brain. If court decides in their favour, everything is right. If decision is against PTI, they go on criticizing instead of accepting the decision with open heart. Shame for PTI nooras.
The only thing left now is for 'lawmakers' to put forward a new law making fake degrees as good as genuine ones, because they themselves are leading by example.
Everything is fair if you are in PML(N).
Simple solution ----- fake or disputed degree holders should first join PML (N) and thenparticipate as a candidate for any sort of election.
these courts cannot decide such simple cases.
