ISLAMABAD:  Setting aside Election Tribunal's verdict, the Supreme Court on Thursday ruled in  Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Khawaja Saad Rafique's favour  in a case pertaining to election rigging in NA-125.

The PMLN leader had approached the SC after the Tribunal  judge Rashid Mehboobi ordered by-election  declaring  election results in the constituency null and void.

After being defeated in the election 2013, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf candidate Hamid Khan had filed an application in the Election Tribunal.

The case was heard by  a divisional bench of the apex court, according to Geo News.
