KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) has adjourned the hearing of Iqama case against Faryal Talpur, Nasir Shah and others till December 6.
On 29 November 2019, Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar and Justice Agha Faisal of the Sindh High Court heard the Iqama case where Nasir Shah’s counsel was ordered to continue arguments. He said that Shah had ended his Iqama in 2012 and also submitted related documents.
The lawyer continued that it was a fake case filed against his client and the petition was not maintainable for hearing. He added that the matter did not come under the jurisdiction of the high court to declare someone as ineligible.
The SHC’s judge said that the Supreme Court (SC) had declared former prime minister Nawaz Sharif ineligible as he had lied before the court. To this, the counsel said that it was the top court but the high court has no authority to declare ineligibility.
The notice was served on the plea of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders Arsalan Taj and Rabia Azfar. The ECP has asked the PPP leader to file her response on December 9.
