SC rejects PTI petition against PM Nawaz

Supreme Court (SC) of Pakistan s Registrar Office on Tuesday dismissed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf s (PTI) petition filed against Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif seeking his disqualification, reported Dunya News.

The objection placed by the Registrar office was that the petitioner has directly approached Supreme Court instead of going to the high court first, further adding that no one could head to the Supreme Court without appealing in high court first.

Earlier on Monday, PTI filed a plea against PM Nawaz Sharif, his sons, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Captain (retd) Safdar and Federal Finance Minister Ishaq Dar.

Sources state that PTI has decided to appeal against the Registrar’s decision to reject the party s petition in two days time.
