An election tribunal of the Lahore High Court (LHC) Friday sought the NIC record of Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) MNA Sumaira Malik from National Database and Registration Authority on a plea for her disqualification by March 15.
The tribunal comprising Justice Ijaz ul Ahsan passed the order on a petition filed by Umer Aslam Awan seeking directions to disqualify the respondent for having a fake degree.
The petitioner in his petition alleged that MNA Sumaira Malik, who was elected from NA-69 in 2008, received her BA degree through impersonation. He also alleged that the MNA committed rigging to win the election.
He contended that the respondent did not qualify as per conditions set in Article 62 and 63 of the constitution.
