MULTAN: The Multan Appellate Tribunal on Thursday fixed appeals filed by PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi, his son Zain Qureshi and daughter Meher Bano Qureshi against rejection of their nomination papers after removal of objections.
The Multan Appellate Tribunal adjourned the hearing of nine appeals against rejection of nomination papers until January 6. The Registrar Judicial had objected to seven appeals and sent them to the senior judge.
The Registrar’s office raised objections to appeals filed by Qureshi against the rejection to his nomination papers for NA-150, 151, and PP-218.
Similarly, the registrar’s office had also put queries on Zain Qureshi and Mehr Bano Qureshi’s appeals against the rejection of papers for NA-151, PP-218 and NA-151, PP-218 constituencies, respectively.
The Judicial Office had objected to missing of ROs’ signatures on the rejection order.
The ROs had rejected the papers on the grounds that Qureshi, Zain and Mehr Bano had not attached affidavits with their papers. Qureshi’s papers were not signed by him, the RO clarified in his order.
Appellate Tribunal’s Judge Justice Sardar Muhammad Sarfraz Dogar has issued notices to the ROs on the appeals.
