“He didn’t declare his income from year 2021 to 2023 in assets papers,” RO further said.
He is defaulter of the forest department’s Murree rest house bill and stayed at the rest house from September 4 to 9 in Year 2022 without paying charges, according to an objection.
“There are 3,22,000 arrears payable against him in respect of a government,” another objection read. Sheikh Rashid Shafique has failed to submit tax return of his wife. He also failed to file complete details of his assets, according to objections.
Sheikh Rashid after rejection of his nomintion papers said that the RO had promised to issue confirmed copies of objections by 4:30pm but didn’t issue the copies.
“My lawyers were waiting till 11:00 in night for the copies, which were not issued to them,” he said.
He asked for issuance of the copies of the ROs decision, so they could challenge the matter in high court.
