LAHORE: The Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) founder has moved the Lahore High Court (LHC) against the rejection of nomination papers in NA 89 and 122.

The former PTI chief filed a petition in the court through his lawyer. The petition was filed against the rejection of nomination papers from two constituencies of the founder PTI.

Founder PTI filed a petition against the rejection of nomination papers in NA 89 and 122, contending that the Returning Officers rejected the papers contrary to facts in both the constituencies, objecting that the Returning Officers were convicted.

In the petition, it was said that in NA-122, an objection was raised that the proposer was not from the same constituency, and both objections are not by the law.

The petition requested that the court annul the decision of the returning officers and the tribunals and allow the founder of PTI to contest the elections.
