SUKKUR: People’s Party MPAs Faryal Talpur and Giyan Chand Essrani have filed review petition against suspension of their assembly membership in dog bite case, ARY News reported on Thursday.
Both members of Sindh Assembly have filed petition in Sukkur bench of the high court.
The court, while declaring the review plea as maintainable, fixed March 31 for the hearing.

The Sindh High Court Sukkur bench had suspended membership of two of the Pakistan People’s Party MPAs from Sindh, Faryal Talpur and Giyan Chand Essrani over dog bite incidents reported in their respective constituencies.
The court had directed the Election Commission of Pakistan to release the suspension notification of Faryal Talpur and Giyan Chand.
