Pakistan Peoples Party's (PPP) provincial leader from Balochistan, Ali Madad Jattak, has been disqualified by the Balochistan High Court (BHC) on Monday.

Jattak also banned from contesting upcoming general elections on July 25.

A two-member bench comprising Justice Naeem Akhtar Afghan and Justice Nazeer Langoor declared the PPP leader ineligible to contest elections. 

Earlier, Jattak had challenged the returning officers' (RO) decision in the appellate tribunal after he had been declared ineligible to contest the elections. 

When the appellate tribunal upheld the RO's decision, Jattak approached the BHC. The BHC then declared that the decision by the RO and appellate tribunal would stand.

Prior to this, in 2013, Jattak was sentenced to a two-year prison term and fined Rs 10,000 in a fake degree case.
