In order to hear appeals involving the disqualification of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan in the Toshakhana case, the Lahore High Court (LHC) convened a full bench on Friday.
According to information, Justices Abid Aziz Sheikh and Sajid Mehmood Sethi would join Chief Justice Muhammad Ameer Bhatti of the Lahore High Court (LHC) to form a three-person full bench.
The chief judge of the LHC had asked for a wider bench so that two different pleas could be heard in this matter.
On January 9, the case will be heard by a three-person bench led by LHC Chief Justice Muhammad Ameer Bhatti.
A larger bench was requested earlier by the Lahore High Court judge in order to hear the appeal against Imran Khan’s disqualification in the Toshakhana case.
Jabir Abbas, a resident of Mianwali, presented his argument before Judge Sajid Mahmood Sethi via his attorney Azhar Siddique. The applicant claimed in his application that the ECP cannot disqualify parliamentarians because it is not a court..com
It is important to remember that the ECP’s ruling in the Toshakhana reference deemed Imran Khan, the chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), ineligible. —NNI
