The remarks come after the IHC disqualified Asif under Article 62(i)(f) of the Constitution for the non-disclosure of his employment as an occupation and the monthly salary he was receiving.

The three-member bench, announcing the verdict, stated that Asif was not even qualified to contest polls in 2013. The registrar was also directed to send a copy of the judgment to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and the speaker of the national assembly to denotify Asif as member parliament.
