Earlier, Lahore High Court’s Appellate Tribunal granted permission for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporter Sanam Javed to participate in the Senate elections, following her successful appeal on Friday.

Sanam had contested the decision of the Election Commission of Pakistan, which initially rejected her nomination papers. The tribunal upheld her appeal against this rejection.

Justice Shahid Bilal Hasan, presiding over the tribunal, delivered the verdict that had been reserved on Thursday after arguments from both parties were concluded.
