The Election Commission's request was approved, and PTI was stripped of its name
Peshawar High Court restored the decision of the Election Commission on the PTI intra-party election and election symbol case and withdrew the injunction.
Peshawar High Court Justice Ijaz Khan heard the Election Commission's review appeal against the court decision, in which the Election Commission's lawyer and Tehreek-e-Insaf's senior lawyer Kazi Anwar Advocate appeared in the court.
At the beginning of the hearing, PTI's lawyer Qazi Anwar asked whether the Election Commission can come to court against the decision of the High Court. Their writ is not correct, the decision came on 26th December, it has not yet been implemented, the Election Commission has not yet issued the intra-party election certificate on the website.
Justice Ejaz inquired whether there was any contempt of court case on your behalf. On this, Qazi Anwar said that the nomination papers of our candidates were rejected, what did the Election Commission do? What is the problem with the Election Commission putting a website certificate, putting one party aside is not good for the Election Commission and democracy, the Election Commission should not have been used against a political party, we want the Election Commission to conduct transparent elections.
During the hearing, the Election Commission raised an objection to the issuance of the injunction by the court without hearing it on December 26.
After the arguments of the parties were completed, the court reserved its decision on the review appeal of the Election Commission.
A few hours later, the court approved the review appeal of the Election Commission and reinstated the December 22 decision of the Election Commission.
The court withdrew its injunction on PTI's intra-party election and election symbol case, stripping the PTI of its bat symbol once again.
