ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday fixed for hearing the pre-admission notice, served to PTI Chairman Imran Khan seeking his disqualification for concealing information about his alleged daughter Tyrian Jade White, on December 20.
It may be recalled that on December 8, the IHC had issued pre-admission notice to Imran Khan to decide whether or not to admit the petition seeking his disqualification for concealing information about his alleged daughter Tyrian White, and had sought his response till January 25.
The IHC had also notices to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and the federal government on a petition filed by a citizen named Mohammad Sajid on the same subject.
The court had last month reserved its verdict on the maintainability of the plea — which sought the PTI chief’s disqualification for concealing his alleged daughter in the nomination papers.
The court has asked all three parties — Khan, the ECP and the Centre — in the case to submit their response in regard to the maintainability of the petition.
The Petition:
According to the petitioner, former prime minister’s daughter is residing in the UK, for whose guardianship he made appropriate arrangements but hid the information about her in the nomination papers and affidavit.
The petitioner further said the PTI chief is aware that there is evidence against him.
He claimed that in the past, he would deny that Tyrian is his daughter and now he does not answer pertaining to this.
The petitioner said Khan cannot hold any public office or party head post. He said Khan should be asked why Article 62(1-F) should not be applied to him, adding that the PTI chief should be disqualified for not being “Sadiq and Ameen” (honest and righteous).
