The Islamabad High Court has postponed the decision on the Toshakhana case, as requested by the former Prime Minister and Chairman of PTI.
The Registrar of the High Court has registered the Chairman of PTI's miscellaneous request with objections. A two-member bench has been constituted for the hearing of the request. Chief Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Babar Sattar are part of this bench.
The Islamabad High Court's District Branch has raised three objections, questioning how two different requests can be made in one case, how relief can be sought again in a case where a decision has already been made, and how relief can be sought in the first request where no relief was sought, now in the case?
The Chairman of PTI has requested to delay the decision on the Toshakhana case and to make the state a party in the appeal. The former Prime Minister had appealed to the Islamabad High Court two days ago to postpone the decision on the Toshakhana case.
In the application filed on their behalf, it was argued that the Election Commission had issued a notification of disqualification after the sentence in the case and declared them ineligible to participate in the elections.
The applicant stated that the notification of disqualification was issued on the basis of the sentence in the case, and the notification should be suspended.
