PESHAWAR: The Peshawar High Court on Monday dismissed an appeal against the acquittal of former MNA Sardar Mohammad Mushtaq, former Workers Welfare Board secretary Tariq Awan and 13 others of corruption. A single bench of Justice Ikramullah Khan dismissed the appeal filed by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ehtesab Commission against the acquittal of the former MNA and others on corruption charges.
