It prayed the court to turn down the verdict of the accountability court, dated June 30, as null and void. The petition had named the accused including Pervaiz Ashraf, Ismail Qureshi, Shahid Rafi, Shaukat Tareen, Tahir Basharrat Cheema, Muhammad Saleem Arif, Chaudhry Abdul Qadeer and Iqbal Ali Shah in the case.
