After rejection of her appeal, the tribunal also withdrew the acceptance of Fawad Chaudhry’s nomination papers.
According to the records presented in the election tribunals, Hiba concealed nine bank accounts and three foreign tours in his nomination papers.
The record of the bank accounts was presented by the State Bank of Pakistan while the details of the foreign visits were presented in the tribunal by the Federal Investigation Agency.
