IHC issues detailed judgment By News desk Ag Agencies ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Saturday said in its detailed verdict that prima facie Muhammad Faisal Vawda was an American national at the time of filing his nomination papers in 2018, and he was ineligible for contesting election for being a dual national. The IHC issued its detailed order in the disqualification case of Federal Minister for Water Resources Faisal Vawda. Justice Aamer Farooq had disposed of the petition challenging Vawda’s election on March 3 after he submitted his resignation from the National Assembly. The IHC, in its detailed order, said that prima facie the affidavit submitted by the PTI leader regarding his dual nationality at the time of his election to the National Assembly was false. Since the affidavits were submitted to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), it was just and proper that the Commission should probe the matter of veracity of the affidavit furnished by Faisal Vawda on June 11, 2018. And if it is found to be false, action should be taken in pursuant to the observations, made in PLD-2020 SC-591, the order said. The judgment noted that since the lawmaker had resigned as an MNA, no writ of quo warranto could be issued with respect to holding dual nationality.
