Petitioner present in person in CPD-3778/2015.

Mr. Shabir Ali Bozdar along with petitioner in CPD-3909/2015 & 3947/2015.

Mr. Zulfiqar Ali Sangi, Assistant Advocate General.

Mian Mumtaz Rabbani, Deputy Attorney General.

..............

Through instant petitions, the petitioners have impugned the order (s) passed by the Returning Officers as well as Appellate Authority, whereby nomination of petitioners have been rejected on the ground that the proposer and seconder do not belong to same Ward or did not appear before Returning Officer at the time of scrutiny.

Since similar controversy is involved in all the above petitions, therefore, by this common order, we intend to dispose of all the petitions.

We have heard learned counsel for the parties as well as AAG and DAG and perused the record.

From perusal of record it appears that the petitioners could neither prove before the Returning Officer nor the Appellate Authority the fact that proposer and seconder belong to same Ward or their appearance before the Returning Officer at the time of scrutiny and have also failed to produce any material to show that the Proposer and Seconder belong to same Ward. Prima facie, the impugned order (s) passed by the Returning Officer and the Appellate Authority do not suffer from any error or illegality. Accordingly, instant petitions being misconceived are dismissed. However, the petitioners are at liberty to file appropriate proceedings before the proper forum, if provided under the law, with regard to their eligibility.
