Islamabad (Web Desk): The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday adjourned the hearing concerning the removal of former premier Imran Khan's name as Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman from the records till December 5.
According to details, the four-member ECP bench, headed by Chief Election Commissioner (CEC), Sikandar Sultan Raja continued hearing Khalid Mehmood's case.
The counsel representing the PTI requested an extension until next week to submit the response as a copy of the petition had not been provided.
CEC Sikandar Sultan Raja stated that, as per ECP records, a copy had been furnished to PTI.
The case's hearing is postponed until Wednesday, but the lawyer urged for a further adjournment to next week, citing their engagement in intra-party elections.
The Election Commission member questioned the procedure for inter-party matters.
Subsequently, the lawyer was instructed by the Election Commission to submit the power of attorney.
Petitioner Khalid Mehmood Khan had submitted a plea seeking the removal of the PTI Chairman from his party position.
In his arguments, the petitioner maintained the stance that the PTI Chairman, having been penalized in the Tosha Khana case, should be ousted from the role.
