The election appellate tribunal of Lahore High Court on Thursday disqualified two Pakistan Peoples Partly candidates for contesting bye-polls in NA-167 and PP-259, a private TV reported. The three-member elections tribunal comprising Justice Anwar-ul-Haq, Justice Mansoor Ali Shah and Justice Nasir Saeed Sheikh while hearing a petition declared Chaudhry Nazir Ahmed Jatt and Sardar Allah Wasaya alias Chunnu Khan Leghari ineligible for contesting bye-polls while holding a fake degree. Both the lawmakers had tendered their resignation for having fake educational degrees. Jutt was elected MNA on the ticket of Pakistan Muslim League (PML-Q) from NA-167 and Allah Wasaya from PP-259. The PPP leadership gave them tickets for contesting by-elections but the court declared them ineligible, observing that those who tendered resignations for possessing fake degrees before the apex court are not able enough to contest by-polls.
