Tribunal rejects petition against Attaullah Tarar’s election win

An Election Tribunal has dismissed a petition challenging the victory of Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar from NA-127 in the 2024 general elections, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

The plea, lodged by Malik Zaheer Abbas Khokhar, who had contested against Attaullah Tarar in NA-127, sought to overturn the election result but was declared false, non-maintainable, and without merit. 

The tribunal noted that petitioner Zaheer Abbas Khokhar repeatedly sought adjournments and failed to produce any evidence in support of his claims, undermining the proceedings.

The Tribunal, in its ruling, threw out the case as lacking merit and evidence and was not maintainable for proceedings.

The decision upheld Attaullah Tarar’s electoral success in the constituency.

Barrister Haris Azmat Advocate appeared on behalf of the federal minister, while Prime Minister’s Political Coordinator Syed Tauseef Shah was also present during the hearing.
