Losers can file papers for Senate
ISLAMABAD, Jan 8: Losers of the October elections may file nomination papers
to contest the Senate elections subject to the decision of Supreme Court.
This was observed by Justice Munir A Sheikh on Wednesday while sitting on a
five-member larger bench which is hearing petitions challenging the ban on
losers to contest Senate polls.
Abdul Hafeez Pirzada, appearing for Millat Party's Javed Jabbar, submitted
that those who were defeated in the Oct 10 elections "are now uncertain"
about filing their nomination papers.
Justice Munir observed that "they can file nomination papers" and till the
decision of this court, their nominations would not be rejected on this
ground alone.-APP
