ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) on Wednesday adjourned until tomorrow hearing of a petition filed by the PTI against the piecemeal acceptance of its 123 MNAs on the request made by the party’s counsel Faisal Chaudhry.
A two-member bench of the SC, headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Umar Ata Bandial, heard the petition.
The PTI MNAs had resigned from their seats en masse after the passage of no-trust motion against their government in April, 2022.
Earlier, the court disposed of the petitions filed by PML-N leaders Zafar Ali Shah and Waheed Kamal in 2015 for the acceptance of PTI MNAs resignations, saying now they had become ineffective.
Speaking on the occasion, PTI’s lawyer Hamid Khan said the matter pertaining to the National Assembly which was elected in 2013 and had already completed its five-year term.
The CJP remarked if that was the case, then the issue was dead.
