It may be noted that earlier on March 16, the Supreme Court of Pakistan turned down a petition seeking the disqualification of President Alvi.
A two-member bench headed by Justice Ijaz-ul-Ahsan heard the petition filed by a citizen, Zahoor Mehndi, under Article 62 1(F) of the Constitution.
The petitioner raised six objections to his candidature, and one of them was that at the time of the presidential election, he (Alvi) was an under-trial accused and was not eligible for the presidency.
