Pakistan Tehrik-e-Inqilab chairman Rana Ilamudin Ghazi and advocate Shahid Naseem Gondal have filed the petitions through their counsel AK Dogar in the Lahore High Court on this issue.
The petitioners contend that the respondent(Gilani) by view of the conviction handed to him, ceased to be the prime minister the moment the sentence was pronounced by the Supreme Court under Article 204(2) of the Pakistan Constitution.
They added that said under Article 199(1)(b) of the Constitution, Gilani was liable to be required to show under what authority of law he was claiming to hold the office of prime minister.
