ISLAMABAD: Imran Khan, the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), and other individuals were the targets of a contempt case that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) delisted on Friday, according to ARY News.
The electoral watchdog said in a statement that the cases, which were scheduled to be heard on September 5, were delisted because the bench was not available.
It is important to note that Asad Umar, the leader of the PTI, and Fawad Chaudhry, a former federal minister, received notifications from the ECP in a case involving contempt.
Prior to this, the Lahore High Court (LHC) blocked the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) from deciding whether to prosecute the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for contempt.
Judge Muhammad Wahid Khan of the LHC heard the PTI leader’s appeal against the ECP proceedings.
Although LHC ordered the commission to continue the case, it prevented ECP from making the ultimate verdict in the contempt case.
Additionally, Chief Justice LHC was requested to constitute a bigger court in this matter and was referred the PTI chief’s appeal.
Earlier, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Imran Khan’s indictment in a contempt case brought against him was postponed by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman and others were the targets of a contempt case, and the electoral watchdog had deferred judgment; the decision was expected to be made public on June 20.
