The Peshawar High Court has issued a decision in the PTI election campaign and gatherings restriction case, stating that there are no restrictions on the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) election campaign and gatherings.
According to details, the Peshawar High Court issued a written judgment regarding the case related to any restrictions on PTI's election campaign and gatherings. The case was heard by a two-member bench consisting of Justice Ejaz Anwar and Justice Shakil Ahmed.
The decision states that it has been proven through evidence that there are no restrictions on PTI's election campaign and gatherings. The court has emphasized that the caretaker government's role is to assist the Election Commission in conducting transparent elections and managing day-to-day affairs, rather than restricting any political party's constitutional rights or imposing restrictions on them during elections.
The decision also mentions that the Election Commission and the caretaker government, under the constitution, will fulfill their constitutional responsibilities for transparent elections, and if the caretaker government supports any party, objections will be raised against them, which is not constitutionally correct.
Therefore, it is necessary for the caretaker government to cooperate with the election process to ensure transparent elections and grant permission for meetings and gatherings under the constitutional rights of all political parties.
The decision drafted by Justice Ejaz Anwar clearly states that there are no restrictions on PTI's gatherings and meetings, but they must obtain permission from the relevant Deputy Commissioner under the law.
It should be noted that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's provincial president, Ali Amin Gandapur, and PTI Lahore Zone's General Secretary, Ali Zaman Advocate, had filed a petition in court, claiming that PTI workers were being prevented from their political campaign.
