The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Friday issued notices to Election Commission of Pakistan and others for March 01 in a petition challenging Senate elections and its scrutiny process. The petitioner Azhar Siddique advocate said how an absconder could be allowed to contest Senate elections?
An election tribunal headed by a judge of the Lahore High Court had allowed Ishaq Dar to contest senate elections when the returning officer (RO) rejected Dar's nomination papers. The petitioner said the RO had also rejected nomination papers of Hafiz Abdul Karim for concealing facts. Both the candidates did not show details about their assets, he said.
Election tribunal allowed them to contest Senate election despite that both the candidates concealed their assets and details of bank accounts. He asked the court to set aside decision of the tribunal and restrain the respondents from contesting Senate elections.
