Peshawar High Court has approved the Election Commission’s request for a review of the PTI intra-party elections.
The High Court heard the Election Commission’s request for a review of the PTI intra-party elections and election symbols case.
The lawyer for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Justice Anwar, argued that the order of December 26 has not been implemented yet.
Justice Ejaz Khan remarked that this means that they did not face any difficulties in retrieving the order of abstention and that the election commission cannot come here to retrieve it. The second point is that there are no problems with holding the elections due to this order.
The Election Commission’s lawyer said that they have the right to file a protest against taking the decision of abstinence against our order, and their case was not admissible here, they should have gone to the Supreme Court.
Lawyer Justice Anwar argued that the Election Commission does not have the authority to declare the PTI intra-party elections void. PTI has also contested the 2013 and 2018 elections on the same symbol.
The Peshawar High Court approved the Election Commission’s request while issuing a secure decision. The court overturned the order of abstinence and reinstated the Election Commission’s decision of December 22.
It should be noted that when the Election Commission declared the PTI intra-party elections void, it had also suspended the election symbol, which was then reinstated by the Peshawar High Court on December 26. The Election Commission had objected to the court’s issuance of the order of abstinence without hearing their position.
