The Lahore High Court (LHC) reserves its verdict on the plea seeking the removal of Imran Khan as PTI Chief.
In October, PTI leader Imran Khan was disqualified by ECP on the reference of Toshakhana under the Article (63) (p).
The ECP also de-notified him as MNA from NA-95 following the disqualification.
ECP ruled Imran Khan out stating that the former premier made ‘false statements’ and ‘incorrect statements’ regarding the gifts he received.
In November, a plea was presented in the Lahore High Court.
The plea argued that according to People Representation Act 1976 and Political Parties Order in 2002, it is required that the representatives of political parties must be qualified according to the constitution.
Justice Muhammad Sajid Mehmood Sethi presided over the hearing to decide whether the plea was admissible for further proceedings.
The petition argued that after the disqualification of Imran Khan from NA-95, he should be de-notified from the position of PTI’s chairmanship.
The lawyer continued with the petition that a disqualified person cannot hold party’s chairmanship under the Political Parties Order in 2002.
He also mentioned that Imran Khan is violating the law and constitution by staying as the Party leader after disqualification.
