Husband seeks PML-N MPA’s disqualification

LAHORE

A writ petition has been moved in the Lahore High Court seeking disqualification of a PML-N MPA Shamsa Gohar on the ground of lying about her first marriage at the time of her second marriage.

Her husband Gohar Sarfraz Qureshi said in the petition that Shamsa had concealed facts at the time of her marriage with him. He said Shamsa contracted marriage with him in 2006 and showed herself unmarried in the Nikahnama (marriage certificate). After some time, he said, he came to know that her wife was already married to another man, Abid Ali. The petitioner said Shamsa had contracted marriage with Ali on March 27, 2005 and concealed this fact at the time of Nikah with him (Qureshi) solemnized on April 9, 2006.

He also claimed that the proof of Shamsa’s divorce with Ali was not found in the record of the union council concerned.

Qureshi also accused his wife of receiving millions of rupees from the national exchequer under the head of TA/DA to attend sessions of the Punjab Assembly.

He said Shamsa belonged to Sialkot, however, she had been residing in Lahore for the last four years.

The petitioner prayed to the court to invoke the provision of Articles 63 i(c) of the Constitution and declare the MPA disqualified for being a dishonest person. The case was fixed before Justice Khawaja Imtiaz Ahmad but he adjourned it due to non-appearance of the petitioner’s counsel. The court will resume hearing on November 15.
