Petition allowed against Nawaz, Shahbaz

The Lahore High Court on Tuesday overruled an objection of the office on a petition seeking disqualification of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif for their alleged corrupt practices. The office citing constitutional immunity enjoyed by the offices of the PM and CM had objected to the maintainability of the petition.
A citizen, Faisal Naseer, alleged in his petition that corruption is rampant in all government institutions. He said incompetent people have been recruited in departments. He pleaded that the prime minister and his brother chief minister of Punjab are involved in corruption and liable to be disqualified.
