Pakistan's Lahore High Court (LHC) has rejected a petition seeking disqualification of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan from Parliament, media reported Tuesday.
The petitioner told the court Monday that Article 62 of the constitution demands a member of the assembly to bear good character and be non-profligate, ARY news reported.

The court declared that it was non-admissible for hearing and discarded it.
