ORDER

' SARDAR MUHAMMAD DOGAR, J.---The appellant who is contesting election from NA. 78, Gujranwala-V, has challenged the order of the Returning Officer, accepting the nomination papers of Rana Nazir Ahmad Khan, respondent No,1.

2. Although learned counsel for the appellant had raised pleas in the memo of appeal that Rana Nazir Ahmad Khan respondent was disqualified for, being not "AMEEN" and for having amassed wealth and land by hoodwinking different persons but during arguments he did not press the points as he had no proof that Rana Nazir Ahmad Khan was ever entrusted with any amount or property as AMEEN. He did not press the latter point i.e. the amassing of vast property as there was no evidence that the wealth and land were obtained by fraudulent means. However, he pressed the appeal on the ground, that Rana Nazir Ahmad Khan was a defaulter of an amount exceeding Rs,10 Lacs. He never claimed that name of Rana Nazir Ahmad Khan was shown as a defaulter in the list of Pakistan Banking Council supplied to the Returning Officer. Although he had taken such objections before the Returning Officer but had done so only on the basis of some newspaper.

Before us also he could not produce any letter or document from the Bankers Equity Limited or the Banking Council nor did he produce any letter from any authorized person of any Bank, that Rana Nazir Ahmad Khan was a defaulter in terms of Ordinance XIX of 1993.

3. In the circumstances, we find no material to interfere with the impugned order. The appeal is, therefore, dismissed.
