LAHORE: An election tribunal on Tuesday dismissed an appeal of senior PML-N leader Pervaiz Rashid who challenged rejection of his nomination papers by the returning officer for the Senate polls.
During the hearing, Rashid’s counsel argued before the tribunal that the appellant had never been informed by the officials of the Punjab House in writing that he owed any amount to it in terms of rent charges. He said the RO gave the appellant one-day time for the payment of the amount, however, the officials concerned did not receive the same.
Justice Shahid Waheed, the one-member tribunal, observed that the Election Act 2017 did not empower the RO and this tribunal to issue any such direction to any government official. “In the result, this appeal being devoid of any merit is dismissed,” said the tribunal.
