A two-member bench comprising Justice Iqbal Kalhoro and Justice Shamsuddin Abbasi has ordered the petitioner to produce record of the plea he had filed against the election of Dr Arif Alvi as President of Pakistan.

Sindh High Court, while hearing the petition against the president Dr Alvi, asked the petitioner to present the record of argument given in the court. The petitioner argued that Dr Alvi in his affidavit in the case under trial in court since 1977 misrepresented himself as the co-trustee of Alvia trust more than once; he declared himself as trustee in a claim on Salt Bank at Hawkes Bay thus intentionally wronging under the court of law. In his petition against the president, Azmat Rehan, remarked that Dr Alvi was guilty of tampering the court’s record. He further claimed that the current SHC chief justice had also issued the orders against him. He maintained that a person involved in tampering court records could not be entrusted with the presidency of the country. The court adjourned the hearing till January 21.
