The plea had adopted the stance that the former president failed to declare his NY apartment in asset details submitted in ECP. Concealing the assets comes under Article 62 (1) (f) of the constitution, the plea had added. The petitioner had prayed to disqualify Zardari as he has not remained ‘Sadiq’ and ‘Ameen’.
