Imran Khan pleads IHC to quash Tyrian White case
ISLAMABAD (MNP) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan has requested the Islamabad High Court (IHC) to dispose of a petition seeking his disqualification “for concealing his alleged daughter Tyrian White’s name in the nomination papers”.
The PTI chief made the request in his reply submitted in line with the orders of IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq who last month provided him another chance to file his response in the case.
The petitioner, Mohammad Sajid, contended that Mr Khan had disclosed his two sons and not his alleged daughter Tyrian White in the nomination papers. He sought the disqualification of the former premier under Article 62(i)(f).
In his reply, the former premier argued that the case was inadmissible as he no longer held a public office, adding that the IHC had already quashed an identical petition against him. Mr Khan also indirectly raised objection over the high court bench, hearing the case, arguing that Justice Aamer Farooq could not take up the case as he had recused himself from hearing the identical case in 2018. He also highlighted that four judges of the high court had also excused from hearing the case.
While talking about the affidavit he had submitted for contesting the elections, he said the petitioner should take the matter to the relevant forum as the high court could not review it.
