RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) – Lahore High Court (LHC) Rawalipindi Bench on Thursday issued notice to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on a petition against former interior minister and disgruntled leader of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Chaudhry Nisar for not taking oath as Member Punjab Assembly.

LHC Rawalpindi Bench judge Justice Mirza Waqas Rauf conducted hearing on the petition of citizen Chaudhry Noor Khan against former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar for not taking oath as Member Punjab Assembly.
