PESHAWAR: PTI filed contempt of court petition against Election Commission for not issuing party certificate.
Chief Election Commissioner Sikander Sultan Raja, Secretary Election Commission and members of the Election Commission have been made parties in the petition filed in the High Court on the issue of intra-party election and the restoration of election symbol bats.
In the petition filed through the mediation of Qazi Anwar and Shah Faisal Ilyas, it has been argued that despite the court orders, the Election Commission has not yet issued the certificate to PTI. The party certificate was also not published on the website of the Election Commission.
The petition further states that the Election Commission is aware of the court decision, yet it has not published it. Despite the clear orders of the court, the parties are creating obstacles in the way of PTI’s general elections. This action of the Election Commission falls under the category of contempt of court.
