The Lahore High Court has summoned Pakistan Muslim League-Q Member of National Assembly Sumaira Malik, who won elections from NA-69, to appear in the court on a petition challenging her victory.
The court had repeatedly summoned the MNA but she did not turned up and now the court has again directed her to ensure her appearance on September 26.
The petition was filed by Malik Umar Aslam Awan, a candidate who lost the elections from the same constituency, alleged that the EC had changed the results that had been provided by the presiding officers.
He also alleged that Malik managed to get votes cast in her favour by using the state machinery at the behest of her husband who was a bureaucrate.
Awan prayed to the court to disqualify Sumaira Malik and declare him returned candidate.
