Justice Nasir Saeed Sheikh issued the notices on Friday after no one appeared before the court despite advanced notices of previous hearings.
Petitioner Ahmed Waheed Khan in his petition had submitted that the parliamentarian had participated in the election by furnishing a bogus graduation degree to complete election commission requirements in 2008. He said that according to the Article 62 and 63 of the Constitution, the MNA stood disqualified for not being Ameen and for concealing facts.
He had prayed to the court to order for Bhattis’ disqualification and called for a reelection on the constituency.
Despite the absence of counselors, the court issued fresh notices to the MNA through the speaker.
