SC dismisses 17-year-old petition seeking PM's disqualification
The application was filed by the senators of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) in 1997, and was dismissed today due to the absence of prosecution at the court hearing.
Chief Justice of Pakistan Nasirul Mulk declared the application ineffective.
Recently, a Supreme Court bench had also rejected the government’s plea for dismissal of an application seeking disqualification of the PM and referred the case, including three similar petitions, to the country’s chief justice.

Who controls the prosecution? The government, and who is in power now?
The reason for the dismissal is indeed funny and shows the grounds on which our courts make decisions else no decisions or life long pending.
"absence of prosecution at the court hearing"
The question is that why did it take 17 years to hear & decide the case? Speaks volumes of the effacacy of the court.
HL should say "17 year old" not "17 years old"

17 years for decision on Prime Minister. I should wait patiently as i am a mango-man and my civil offence is in court for only 9 years. I am now 45 and sincerely hope my cases comes up for hearing and decision by the time I am 65. life expectancy of pakistani male is 65.5 years so I can enjoy my liberties again at least fr 6 months before i die.
