“You have to satisfy the court on all these points,” judge remarked


Islamabad: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) heard the disqualification case of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan and adjourned the case for two weeks.
Justice Aamer Farooq heard the petition filed by the citizen Mohammad Sajid for the disqualification of Imran Khan for concealing the name of his alleged daughter Tyrian Khan in his nomination papers.
“A separate petition has been filed to make the federal government a respondent in the case,” said the counsel for the petitioner.
Justice Aamer Farooq questioned the petitioner’s counsel, “What is the need to make the federal government a respondent in the case? You will have to satisfy us on the admissibility of this petition. Imran Khan is no longer a public office holder. You must consider this point too.”
“Imran Khan’s resignation has not been accepted yet,” the petitioner’s lawyer argued before the court.
“Why should we not send this case to the election commission? Imran Khan gave his affidavit to the election commission. Faisal Vawda’s case was also of the same nature, and it had been sent to the election commission,” Justice Aamer Farooq said.
“You have to satisfy the court on all these points,” he added and adjourned the hearing on the petition for two weeks.
