LAHORE, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 17th Feb, 2018 ) :An appellate tribunal of the Lahore High Court on Saturday dismissed two appeals against the acceptance of nomination papers of two PML-N candidates - Nuzhat Sadiq and Sadia Abbasi, sister of Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.
The tribunal, comprising Justice Amin-ud-Din Khan, heard the appeals filed by PTI leader Andleeb Abbas. During the hearing, Election Commission's Director Legal, along with a law officer, appeared before the tribunal in response to the notices and submitted record of the matter.
