* Two-member bench declares petitions non-maintainable; directs petitioners to approach relevant forum
May 20, 2021
Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday rejected three petitions submitted for hearing against the auctioning of properties of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.
A two-member bench, headed by Justice Aamir Farooq, rejected the petitions filed by Mian Iqbal Barkat, Muhammad Ashraf and Aslam Aziz, terming those non-maintainable under Article 199 of the constitution.
The bench said that the IHC cannot hear the case under Article 199 when the petitioners have others forums available for relief. The litigants should have filed the application to the trial court to stop the auction, it added.
