RECORDER REPORT

LAHORE: The Lahore High Court here on Tuesday dismissed a petition against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif seeking his disqualification conditional with the NAB's reference for being not maintainable. The petitioner Muhammad Amin, submitted that JIT was not an institution and nobody could be declared guilty without lawful investigation.

He said under Article 10-A, a fair trial is the right of every citizen and added the matter of Nawaz Sharif should be sent to the NAB rather than his conviction by the court.

The court while dismissing the petition observed that the petition was not maintainable as the matter was in the Supreme Court.
