Imran Khan not banned from contesting elections: Justice Athar Minallah
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) rejected on Monday PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s petition challenging the order of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in the Toshakhana reference case.
On Friday, the ECP disqualified the former premier in the Toshakhana reference, stating he had committed corrupt practices by making “false statements and submitting incorrect declaration”.
IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah heard the case, saying that Khan is not banned from contesting elections.
Earlier, objections were raised by the registrar’s office on the PTI chair's plea. PTI’s counsel Barrister Ali Zafar presented his arguments before the court.
During today's hearing, Justice Minallah asked about the objections to the petition.
He was informed by Khan’s lawyer that one objection was on the biometric verification and the other was that a certified copy of ECP’s decision was not attached with the plea.
