LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Friday dismissed an election petition challenging the acceptance of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s Saira Afzal Tarar’s nomination papers to contest for elections 2018.
A two-judge bench dismissed the petition for being non-maintainable and upheld the verdict of an LHC tribunal to allow Tarar to contest the general election.
The petitioner alleged that the former minister’ concealed details of her properties’ in nomination papers.
“She neither disclosed the details of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) cases pending against her husband nor her husband’s source of income,” he argued.
He pleaded that the election candidate is not qualified to contest the poll under the Article 62 and 63 of the Constitution and pleaded with the judges to disqualify him.
