KARACHI: The Sindh High Court on Thursday allowed the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf candidate Saifullah Abro to contest the upcoming Senate election.
The two-judge bench headed by Justice Mohammad Ali Mazhar through a short order allowed the petitions of the PTI candidate against an order of the election tribunal and directed the Election Commission of Pakistan to include his name in the final list of candidates contesting the March 3 election of the upper house.
The PTI candidate through his lawyer filed petitions before the SHC challenging the decision of the election tribunal to disqualify him and pleaded to set aside its order and allow him to contest the election.

The federal government has recommended three names for the post of Sindh inspector general, sources said Wednesday, as the centre-Sindh row over IG Mushtaq Mahar continues to deepen.
It began with the arrest of Sindh Assembly Opposition Leader
Haleem Adil Sheikh last week. He is accused of violating electoral rules and
interfering with an anti-encroachment operation in Malirâs Memon Goth.
On Monday, Sindh Governor Imran Ismail said he had written a letter to Prime Minister Imran Khan, seeking immediate removal of IG Mahar. He wished for a police chief in Sindh “who may not oblige anyone”.
