Peshawar High Court has restored PTI's election symbol of bat
PESHAWAR: After hearing the arguments in the hearing on the PTI intra-party election and election symbol case, the High Court annulled the decision of the Election Commission, after which the election symbol of the bat was returned to the PTI1.
The case was heard by a two-member bench comprising Justice Ejaz Anwar and Justice Syed Arshad Ali of the Peshawar High Court, in which the lawyers of the parties objecting to the intra-party election of the Tehreek-e-Insaf gave arguments. Earlier, the lawyers of PTI and Election Commission had completed their arguments last day.
During the hearing, Qazi Javed Advocate said in his arguments that my client was the former District General Secretary of PTI, who came to know from the media that the intra-party elections were taking place. He wanted to participate in the election but was not given the opportunity.
Justice Ijaz Anwar said that he did not say that the intra-party elections should be conducted again. If the Election Commission annulled the intra-party elections, then you should have called for re-elections. If you were from the party, then you should have objected to withdrawing the party symbol, but you did not, to which Qazi Jawad said that we were not given a chance in the elections and went to the Election Commission against it.
Qazi Javed Advocate said that the intra-party elections are for the whole country, the High Court can only look at the province, on which Justice Arshad Ali inquired whether they should have made separate cases in each province. If the intra-party election was held in Peshawar, how can you not file a case here? Justice Ejaz Anwar asked whether all the members were elected in the election that took place or only to the extent of the province?, to which Qazi Javed Advocate replied that the representatives of the entire country were elected.
