In his petition, Mr Zulfiqar stated that Mr Mir Gul was ineligible to contest the polls as he had not completed the two-year mandatory period after resigning from the government service in the Levies force.
After hearing arguments of Mr Zulfiqar, the bench disqualified the PML-Q candidate from contesting elections.
