CPs.2693-2694 of 2018 6 The same view is expressed in the judgment of this Court titled Hassan Nawaz vs. Muhammad Ayub (PLD 2017 SC 70) in para-17 thereof. 4. The impugned judgments by the learned High Court have applied the bar of Article 62(1)(f) of the Constitution upon the petitioner without giving a finding that his declaration of Sanad of Shahad-ul-Aalmia in his nomination papers filed in the year 2008 was a dishonest and deceitful action to meet the condition of graduate qualification in order to become eligible for contesting the general elections. Apart from lacking such finding, the discussion in the impugned judgment is at best based upon a presumption and not on any finding or deduction made on the basis of any material qualifying as evidence. In the circumstances, the presumption drawn by the impugned judgments is conjectural and cannot be made the ground for disqualifying the petitioner forever from contesting for or holding an office in the Constitutional Legislatures of the country. For the foregoing reasons, both these petitions are converted into appeals and allowed and the impugned judgments dated 03.07.2018, 26.06.2018 and 19.06.2018 passed by the learned High Court, Appellate Tribunal and the Returning Officers, respectively, are set aside. Chief Justice Judge Judge Announced in Court on 05.12.2018. Judge. APPROVED FOR REPORTING. Irshad Hussain /*
