PTI decides to file contempt petition against ECP

August 31, 2023 by Abid Khan

ECP deviated from constitution regarding elections.
Court bound ECP elections within 90 days in Punjab.
However, ECP postponed elections for indefinite period.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has decided to file a contempt of court petition against the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).

PTI Spokesperson said the Election Commission of Pakistan deviated from the constitution regarding the elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).

The spokesman said that PTI took the constitutional step of dissolution of the assemblies in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Early dissolution of the assemblies obliges the Election Commission to hold elections within 90 days.

PTI spokesperson added in his statement that the Supreme Court, while interpreting the constitutional order of elections in 90 days, made the Election Commission bound to conduct elections in Punjab on May 14.

Instead of following the order, the Election Commission took the step of postponing the elections for an indefinite period.

It should be noted that on January 12 this year, Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi signed the summary of the dissolution of the provincial assembly and sent it to the governor of Punjab.

Contempt petition filed against Imran Khan in LHC

March 4, 2023 by Abid Khan

A citizen Mushkoor Hussain filed a plea in the LHC.
An organized rally was arranged to undermine courts.
Khan’s act of appearing with mob of people contempt court.

LAHORE: A citizen has filed a petition in the Lahore High Court (LHC), seeking contempt proceedings against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan for allegedly undermining the judiciary.

A citizen Mushkoor Hussain filed a plea in the LHC through his Lawyer Nadeem Sarwar.

The petitioner stated that PTI workers across the world ran a campaign against judges and defamed them after a Supreme Court’s five-member bench had nullified National Assembly’s former deputy speaker Qasim Suri’s ruling to dismiss the no-confidence motion against then-prime minister Khan and the subsequent dissolution of the assembly by President Dr. Arif Alvi on the ex-premier’s advice.
The top court had ordered then-NA speaker Asad Qasier to summon the session on April 9 and hold voting on the no-trust motion against the premier.

“Since his government was ousted through a vote of no confidence in Apr 2022, Imran Khan Niazi resorted to various themes mostly contradicting each other to justify that his constitutional ouster was not the result of lack of majority in the National Assembly rather was the result of a conspiracy,” read the petition.

Referring to the riots during the PTI leader’s recent appearance in the LHC and courts in Islamabad, the petitioner said it was “so articulated as if an out-of-law act has been committed by honorable judges by calling Imran Khan to courts. An organized rally was arranged to undermine courts in Lahore as well as in Islamabad.”
