Clean bowled: RO rejects PTI's petiton against rigging at NA-125 Lahore

[Shoaib Rathore]

LAHORE: The returning officer rejected Hamid khan’s petition regarding rigging done by Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) candidate Khawaja Saad Rafique who won in NA-125 Lahore, Express News reported on Tuesday.
Hamid Khan of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) alleged that at NA-125, the PML-N candidates and their agents, “in a systematic, deliberate and pre-planned scheme … with the active connivance and support of presiding officers and the police” cast bogus votes and tampered with ballot boxes and ballot papers.
Hamid Khan sought a recount of the votes and verification of the counts furnished by the presiding officer.
Talking to The Express Tribune, Saad Rafique had said that the PTI should accept its defeat in the constituency rather than make accusations aimed at casting doubt on the PML-N mandate.
He had further said that if the PTI chief could be defeated in Lahore, it was no surprise that he should defeat Hamid Khan.
On Monday, Returning Officer Khalid Mehmood Bhatti issued notice to the PML-N’s Khawaja Saad Rafique (winner at NA-125), for May 14, on the complaint of losing PTI candidate Hamid Khan.

Any more details on what basis did the RO rejected Hamid Khan's petition.....lack of evidence?
By the way he still has option to go to the court to seek a recount. Lets see what decision does the party makes.

yes what was the reason? not concrete evidence? the party can always go to SC. I think they should give the evidences for other constitutions too.
