Contempt petition filed against Nawaz in SC's Lahore registry
The petition was filed on Tuesday.
LAHORE (Dunya News)- Contempt petition has been filed against ousted Nawaz Sharif on Saturday in Supreme Court’s (SC) Lahore registry as Nawaz continues to question his recent disqualification in the ongoing homecoming rally.
The petitioner urged country’s top court to bar live telecast of Sharif’s speeches whereas the petition read that Sharif, on myriad occasions, has termed his disqualification as conspiracy against him.
In its historic decision on July-29, SC had ousted Nawaz Sharif in much-hyped Panama Papers Case.
“It is hereby declared that having failed to disclose his un-withdrawn receivables constituting assets from Capital FZE Jebel Ali, UAE in his nomination papers filed for the General Elections held in 2013 in terms of Section 12(2)(f) of the Representation of the People Act, 1976 (ROPA), and having furnished a false declaration under solemn affirmation respondent No. 1 Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif is not honest in terms of Section 99(f) of ROPA and Article 62(1)(f) of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973 and therefore he is disqualified to be a Member of the Majlis-e-Shoora (Parliament),” read SC’s decision.
