The petition filed by the citizen Tanvir Sarwar came up for hearing before single bench of LHC led by Justice Raheel Kamran Sheikh here Tuesday.

Proceeding was initiated against Chairman PTI in Toshakhana case and he was disqualified. EC did not register complaint against any other member of assembly. Equal action should be taken against those members of assembly who have obtained gifts and they have not shown them.

During the hearing of the case the court while reprimanding the counsel for EC remarked you have made mockery of the courts. One month has passed and you have not given reply on this petition. I give decision on this petition today.
