PTI leader Jamshed Iqbal Cheema and his wife Musarrat Cheema on Tuesday challenged the rejection of their nomination papers for NA-133 (Lahore) by-poll in the Lahore High Court (LHC).
They approached the LHC after an election tribunal dismissed their appeal against the returning officer’s (RO) decision to reject their nomination papers.
The petitioners pleaded with the high court to set aside the rejection of their papers and allow them to contest the by-election scheduled for Dec 5. On Nov 5, the tribunal comprising LHC Justice Shahid Jameel dismissed the appeals after hearing arguments from the lawyers representing the petitioners, the PML-N.—INP
