Dual nationality case

On 4th, June, 2012, the Supreme Court of Pakistan admitted a petition by the registrar's office. The petition stated that Baloch holds dual Pakistani and American nationality, and hence, according to Pakistan's constitution, is not eligible to hold public office in Pakistan. Along with Baloch, the petition included names of 13 other current members of National and Provincial assemblies in Pakistan. However, the allegation of dual nationality against Sabir Ali Baloch has been dismissed by the court as the allegation against him proved to be wrong.
