A division bench of the Lahore High Court would proceed on March 11 (Monday) with a petition seeking disqualification of Prime Minister Imran Khan on the ground of not being "sadiq and ameen". The petitioner Mudassar Chaudhry of Pakistan Justice & Democratic Party, a defeated candidate from NA-131, had challenged the election of Imran Khan accusing him of concealing mandatory details about his family members in the nomination papers.
The petitioner submitted that under section 60(2)(d) of Election Act, 2017 a candidate had to furnish a statement of his assets and liabilities and of his spouse and dependent children. However, he said, Imran Khan failed to disclose detailed of properties owned by his wife, two sons and 'daughter' Tyrian Jade Khan.
He said the respondent was not qualified rather disqualified under Article 62(1) (d), (e) and (f) and Article 63(1) (o) & (p) of the Constitution. He asked the court to de-notify the respondent as an MNA and direct the ECP for appropriate proceedings against him.
