Pakistan
A three-member LHC bench conducted hearing of the appeal
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Lahore High Court on Wednesday allowed Awami Muslim League (AML) chief to contest upcoming general elections to be held on Feb 8.
A three-member bench of the Lahore High Court (LHC) conducted hearing of an appeal against a ruling under which former interior minister Sheikh Rashid's nomination papers were accepted.
The LHC upheld the decision of appellate tribunal.
The petitioner had taken the stance that AML chief's nomination papers were accepted ignoring the facts. The petitioner further appealed to the LHC to set aside the appellate tribunal's decision.
The court dismissed the appeal against acceptance of Rashid's nomination papers from NA-56 (Rawalpindi).
