Earlier on Friday, the Supreme Court ruled that Tareen could not be termed honest as he failed to declare his offshore firm and used dubious terms in his statements before the court.
He was disqualified as a legislator on the basis of Article 62(1)(f) of the Constitution and and Section 99 of Representation of People Act (ROPA) .
