LAHORE:
Begum Aqueela Daultana, mother of MNA Tehmina Daultana, on Monday filed a petition before Lahore High Court (LHC), challenging a petition moved by Imran, Tehmina’s son, seeking her guardianship.
Imran, son of Mian Shaukat Ali Aqueel, had filed a petition before the district and sessions judge. He mentioned her properties to be given in his guardianship as a 14-marla house in Gulberg, a 13.3 acre house in Murree, 745 kanal land in Daultabad, Vehari, 97 kanal 18 marla land in Luddan, Vehari, rent of these properties and agricultural income, her bank accounts and properties of her special-person son, Mian Nadeem Daultana.
He had told the court that she was 80 years old and suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, which was incurable. He said her servants were looking after her properties and stealing from her money. He also presented a medical certificate issued by Dr Muhammad Nasir Saeed. He also submitted a consent given by former Punjab Advocate General Mustafa Ramday in favour of Imran that he could file the petition for guardianship.
Aqueela, her daughter Shazia Daultana, her sons Mian Zahid Daultana and Mian Nadeem Daultana had challenged the petition before the district judge who dismissed Aqueela’s application, saying that the matter must be adjudicated on the basis of appropriate witnesses.
Now Aqueela, Shazia, Zahid and Nadeem have filed a petition before the LHC, challenging the order of the district sessions judge and consent of the Punjab AG.
“He is studying in the UK and cannot perform as my guardian. The medical certificate presented by Imran in the subordinate court is also of no value as Dr Saeed is not an authorised physiatrist,” she stated in the petition.
She said Imran had filed the guardianship application to deprive her from her properties on the behest of his mother.
She said she had been under treatment with Dr Muhammad Nasir Saeed for two and half year, but none of her relatives had approached a court to seek her guardianship.
The hearing was adjourned till May 21.
