ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has fixed Dec 20 for hearing a petition seeking disqualification of PTI Chairman Imran Khan for concealing his putative daughter in the nomination papers submitted to the ECP.

The court has already issued pre-admission notices to federation, the ECP and Mr Khan.

The petition has been moved by a citizen, Mohammad Sajid, stating that Mr Khan had only provided the details of his two sons in his nomination papers and did not disclose his alleged daughter Tyrian White.

The petitioner has requested the court to disqualify Mr Khan under Article 62(1f) of the Constitution.
