A LHC three-member bench led by Justice Ali Baqir Najfi announces the verdict on the plea of the PTI’s founder.
Lahore: The Lahore High Court (LHC) has rejected an appeal by Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), against the rejection of his nomination papers for the upcoming general elections scheduled for February 8.
The high court upheld the decisions of the returning officer (RO) and the appellate tribunal, which had previously ruled against accepting the nomination papers of the disqualified former prime minister for NA-122 and NA-89 constituencies.
A three-member bench led by Justice Ali Baqar Najafi heard Imran Khan's plea on Wednesday. Khan argued that the rejection of his nomination papers was inconsistent with the facts as presented, and he sought permission to contest the upcoming polls.
Following arguments from both parties, the LHC bench dismissed Imran Khan's appeal, affirming the earlier decisions of the RO and the appellate tribunal.
Imran Khan had submitted his nomination papers for the NA-122 constituency in Lahore and the NA-89 constituency in Mianwali.
