For this particular constituency, Musharraf got rejected because of signature mismatch. However he filed his nomination from 4 different places and someone has filed a plea in court to reject his nomination on charges of treason.

even it is also mentioned in newspapers that he rejected due to voilations of arcticle 62 and 63 of constitution,so it is quite confusing
