Pakistan Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Hamid Ali Mirza has dismissed an application challenging President Asif Ali Zardari's eligibility to contest the presidential election in light of the Supreme Court's detailed verdict on the controversial amnesty law, the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO).

"In the circumstances, as no prima facie case has been made out by the petitioner his petition, being not maintainable, is dismissed," Mirza said in his judgement.

The judgement further said that the petitioner has failed to produce any finding by a competent court of law to prove Zardari was a convict.
