PP-117: Tribunal declares Imran Sher Ali ineligible to contest polls
Imran concealed his assets and has not returned loan taken from different banks, said plaintiff.
FAISALABAD (Dunya News) – Appellate tribunal on Wednesday has declared Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) candidate Imran Sher Ali ineligible to contest upcoming general polls from PP-117.
Plaintiff Nafees told the tribunal that Imran Sher Ali, brother of former state minister Abid Sher Ali, has concealed his assets and that he has not returned loan taken from different banks.
Imran Sher is a bank defaulter, therefore, he should not be allowed to participate in the elections, he requested.
Subsequently, the tribunal declared PML-N candidate ineligible for the polls and rejected his nomination papers.
On the other hand, pleas against nomination papers of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s (PML-N) Saira Afzal Tarar from Hafizabad and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Ejaz Cheema from NA-75 were dismissed.
However, Tehreek-e-Labaik candidate Dr Ashraf Asif Jalali for NA-81 was barred from contesting the elections.
It is to be mentioned here that the revised list of candidates will be published on Thursday.
Candidates can withdraw their nomination papers by Friday while the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) will allot election symbols to candidates on Saturday.
Polling for the general elections will be held on 25th of next month.
