The court further ruled that under Article 248 of the Constitution, the President cannot be designated a party to the petition.


Islamabad: The Supreme Court returned the constitutional petition of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to hold general elections in 90 days on Thursday.
The Registrar's office of the Supreme Court objected, arguing that the petitioner hadn't approached any pertinent forums before appealing to the Supreme Court.
The court further ruled that under Article 248 of the Constitution, the President cannot be designated a party to the petition.
Furthermore, the fundamental right of the petitioner was impacted is not stated in the petition. The petition did not adhere to Article 184/3's duty to address the Supreme Court directly.
Senior attorney Ali Zafar on behalf of PTI filed a petition asking for elections to be held within 90 days and for the Council of Common Interests' ruling to be overturned.
