An election tribunal hearing important appeals against several dignitaries on Thursday refused to continue the proceedings.
The two-member bench of election tribunal refused to conduct hearing on the appeals against nomination papers of PTI chairman Imran Khan, former chief minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif, PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif and PPP candidate Aslam Mandhyana.
The tribunal said there are personal reasons that are keeping them from going ahead with the proceedings, and forwarded the issue to the higher judiciary.
Justice Khawaja Imtiaz said he had given decision in the Hudabiya Paper Mills case in favor of Sharif brothers. He said there are ‘personal reasons’ that he is unable to hear the case concerning Imran Khan whose nomination papers were challenged from NA 122.
