Islamabad, June 28 (TNS): In a major development,Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Fawad Chaudhry on Thursday was allowed to contest upcoming polls from NA-67 (Jhelum) following a Lahore High Court decision.
The Lahore High Court ruled in favour of Fawad in an appeal filed against an appellant tribunal’s rejection of his nomination papers.
