The Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) has fixed the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) contempt plea on the level playing field for hearing on January 3 (Wednesday).
A three-member bench of the Supreme Court will hear Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) petition on the level-playing field.
The PTI lawyer had appeared before CJP Qazi Faez Isa. He said, “The court had ordered us to provide level playing field. We have filed the contempt of the court plea.”
The CJP said, “We will resume the hearing after the break.”
However, the PTI lawyer had not appeared before the court after the hearing was resumed.
The apex court had decided to fix the PTI’s plea on the level playing field for hearing on January 3 (Wednesday).
Few days back, the PTI had filed a contempt of court petition in the Supreme Court on the issue of non-implementation of the orders regarding the provision of level playing field to the party.
The petition maintains that the Supreme Court should ensure the implementation of its orders of December 22 as well as issue directions against the arrest and harassment of PTI candidates.
The petition states that the PTI candidates were being prevented from submitting their nomination papers for the upcoming general elections despite court orders.
Several letters were written to the provincial election commissioner but despite that, no action was taken, it added further. Strict action should be taken against those who are violating the court order, the petition mentions.
