' SH. ABDUR RAZZAQ, J.---By this appeal orders, dated 26-12-1996 and 28-12-1996 have bee assailed whereby nomination papers of respondent No,1 have been accepted.

2. The main point urged by the learned counsel for the appellant is that as per declaration form, respondent No, 2 owned properties worth crores of rupees but he has not paid any wealth tax as required by Wealth Tax Act, 1963; that he intentionally omitted the information regarding loan of Rs,35,00,000 having been obtained from A.D.B.P. Although he incorporated such information in his nomination papers pertaining to NA-136 Muzaffargarh-II.

3. A perusal of the record shows that respondent No,1 has disclosed his properties in the nomination papers and he has not paid any wealth tax on the said properties. Even if it is presumed that he was liable to pay wealth tax and has not paid the same, even then this fact will not disentitle respondent No,1 from submitting his nomination papers. The orders, dated 26-12-1996 and 28-12- 1996 have been passed strictly in accordance with law.

5. There is no force in this appeal and the same is hereby dismissed.
