PM's disqualification case: Justice Shahid refuses to sit in bench

Justice Shahid Waheed of the Lahore High Court on Monday refused to sit in the bench seized with a petition seeking disqualification of Prime Minister Imran Khan as he had already decided an identical petition. Heading the bench Justice Mamoon Rashid Sheikh referred the petition to Chief Justice for its disposal by another bench. The petitioner Mudassar Chaudhry of Pakistan Justice & Democratic Party, a defeated candidate from NA-131, submitted that Imran Khan failed to disclose detailed of properties owned by his wife, two sons and 'daughter' Tyrian Jade Khan White.
He said the respondent was not qualified rather disqualified under Article 62 (1)(d), (e) and (f) and Article 63(1) (o) & (p) of the Constitution. He therefore asked the court to declare invalid the nomination papers of Imran Khan. He further asked the court to de-notify the respondent Imran Khan as an MNA and declare the seat as vacant.
