AN ELECTION tribunal of the Lahore High Court on Friday issued notices to a disqualified PML-N MPA Haji Nasir Mehmood and the Returning Officer of the PP-111, Gujrat, for March 1.
The tribunal issued notices on the petition of former PML-Q provincial minister Mian Imran Masood who was a candidate for by-polls in PP-111. It had
declared disqualified Haji Nasir from the constituency of Gujrat on February 3 for possessing an unrecognised BA degree. The tribunal had also ordered holding of fresh polls to fill the vacant seat.
Petitioner Imran Masood submitted before the tribunal that the respondent, despite his disqualification by the court, had filed fresh nomination papers to contest by-polls. He pointed out that the RO concerned had also accepted his papers.
The petitioner prayed to the tribunal to set aside the RO’s decision as the respondent, Haji Nasir, had already been declared disqualified and could not contest election.
