KARACHI: The Sindh High Court censured the response submitted by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in the case pertaining to Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leaders for holding foreign country’s Iqama (work permit).
The high court took up the hearing of a case involving PPP’s senior leaders Faryal Talpur, Manzoor Wasan and others for concealing their work permits of a foreign country in their nomination papers for July 25 electoral battle.
SHC lashed out at the ECP for submitting a vague and one page response regarding all the accused, saying “there is nothing useful in the submitted rejoinder.”
The hearing was adjourned until October 25.
A petition had been filed in the Sindh High Court against the key PPP leaders Faryal Talpur, Manzoor Wasan, Nasir Hussain Shah, Sohail Anwar Siyal and others for allegedly holding work permits of a foreign country and not disclosing it in their nomination papers for elections.
Separately, an appeal was filed against a Sindh High Court ruling that rejected a petition seeking disqualification of Murad Ali Shah for failing to disclose his Canadian nationality and United Arab Emirates Iqama to the Election Commission of Pakistan.
Petitioner Roshan Ali Buriro in his plea said, Murad Ali Shah, while concealing his UAE work permit and lying in front of the electoral body, is no more truthful and honest, thus he should be declared disqualified.
