The Additional District and Sessions Court here has issued arrest warrants for one former member of the National Assembly and two former members of the Punjab Assembly for holding dual nationalities.

When the Lahore district and sessions judge started hearing the case, he was informed on behalf of the Election Commission of Pakistan that former MNA Shehnaz Sheikh, and former MPAs Amna Battar and Rana Asif had enjoyed luxuries during their tenure. The ECP requested the court to order withdrawal of their facilities as they had been disqualified for holding dual nationalities.

The judge had summoned the parliamentarians numerous times but they failed to even make a single appearance. Therefore, the judge ordered that the three be arrested by February 25.
