The Lahore High Court issued notices to Attorney General of Pakistan and Advocate General of Punjab for December 21 in a petition praying to the court to declare beneficiaries of National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO), disqualified from contesting the election or holding any public office. The petitioner Javed Iqbal Jaffrey contended that NRO beneficiaries are those who are accused of looting the national wealth.
He requested lifetime ban on politicians taken benefit under NRO. He further requested that concerned authorities should be directed to recover money plundered by the beneficiaries. He further prayed to the court to direct the interior ministry to put their names on Exit Control List (ECL).
