LAHORE, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 17th Feb, 2018 ) :An appellate tribunal of the Lahore High Court on Saturday dismissed two appeals against the acceptance of nomination papers of two PML-N candidates - Nuzhat Sadiq and Sadia Abbasi, sister of Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.
The tribunal, comprising Justice Amin-ud-Din Khan, heard the appeals filed by PTI leader Andleeb Abbas. During the hearing, Election Commission's Director Legal, along with a law officer, appeared before the tribunal in response to the notices and submitted record of the matter.
They submitted that the returning officer accepted the nomination papers of Nuzhat Sadiq and Sadia Abbasi after scrutiny.
