Islamabad:The Supreme Court will hear the case concerning criminal proceedings against former MNA Jamshed Dasti in connection with the fake degree controversy on November 4.

The court has already sought records of all cases registered against Jamshed Dasti from the federal government and all provincial governments.

A two-member bench headed by Justice Malik Shahzad Ahmad Khan had earlier heard the matter and observed that it would examine whether the case could be heard by a two-member bench.

During the previous hearing, the counsel for the Punjab government informed the court that records of cases against Dasti had been submitted.

The Punjab government stated that 47 cases had been registered against him in the province.

Meanwhile, counsel for Jamshed Dasti told the court that even a case involving the alleged theft of a Rs2,000 Nokia mobile phone had been registered against his client.

The Supreme Court is expected to examine the legal aspects of the matter during the upcoming hearing.
