In March 2018, the Supreme Court of Pakistan indicted Chaudhry for committing contempt of court. Chuadhry rejected the contempt allegations.[16] In August 2018, the Supreme Court found Chaudhry guilty of contempt of court and disqualified him from holding public office[17] [18] and from contesting elections for five years. This judgment was believed to be a result of political victimisation the judgment later increased Tallal Chaudry’s popularity because the public was convinced that it was a result of him being loyal to his leadership and party. The three-judge bench also slapped him a fine of Rs 100,000.[19] In September 2018, he challenged the verdict of the Supreme Court.[20] [21]
