Justice Tariq Nadeem of the appellate tribunal of the Lahore High Court (LHC) Wednesday upheld the returning officer\u2019s verdict rejecting PTI founding chairman Imran Khan\u2019s nomination papers for constituency NA-122. Imran\u2019s nomination papers were rejected from NA-122 (Lahore) and NA-89 (Mianwali) on December 30. The verdict issued by the RO for NA-122 stated that the papers were rejected on \u201cmoral\u201d and other grounds. In the detailed decision, the election officer quoted the judgment of the additional session judge (Islamabad) that established the conviction of the respondent related to the offense of moral turpitude. Similarly, Imran Khan’s appeal against the RO verdict rejecting his nomination papers from NA-89 Mianwali has also been rejected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
