LAHORE — Three petitions were filed yesterday before the Lahore High Court to get Nawaz Sharif and his brother Shahbaz Sharif disqualified for the by-election.
Two petitions, one each against Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif, have been filed by one Khurram Shah. The third comes from Noor Elahi which is only against Shahbaz Sharif. The petitions say that both the brothers have been using derogatory language against the judiciary and are thus ineligible to contest election. They also say that the Sharifs were convicted in two cases. The court has been asked to declare the unopposed election of Shahbaz Sharif from PP-48 (Bhakkar) as invalid.
Similarly, the court has been prayed that the acceptance of nomination papers of Nawaz Sharif for NA-123 (Lahore) be set aside. Meanwhile, a session of the Punjab Assembly has been called for June 6, and efforts are being made for Shahbaz Sharif to take oath as early as possible.
