Justice Nasir Saeed Sheikh of the LHC on Tuesday adjourned a petition filed by the Jamaat-e-Islami against the political office of President Asif Ali Zardari.
The judge asked Dr Fareed Ahmad Pracha to submit an authority letter from his party to file the petition. The petitioner’s counsel sought time and the judge adjourned the hearing.
Dr Pracha, being deputy secretary, had filed the petition and sought a declaration that President Zardari suffered from pre-election disqualification on account of retaining office of a political party at the time of filing nomination papers for the presidential election. Meanwhile, the Federation of Pakistan has submitted an application in the Lahore High Court, requesting it to adjourn hearing of a contempt petition against President Asif Zardari, fixed for Wednesday (today). The counsel for federation, Wasim Sajjad, said in the application that he would not be able to appear before a full bench due to his engagement in a case before the Supreme Court in Islamabad. Munir Ahmad had filed the contempt of court petition against the President for holding political office and indulging in political activities in violation of a LHC full bench order.
