PTI Chairman Imran Khan and
Fawad Chaudhry on Tuesday moved Lahore High C
ourt (LHC) against the show-cause notices served to them in a
contempt case, a private TV channel reported. The PTI leaders have challenged ECP’s show-cause notice before Lahore High Court’s Rawalpindi bench. Through a petition, the PTI chief contended th
at as per the constitution, the ECP reserves no right to exercise powers of a c
ourt and termed the show-cause notice unconstitutional. The PTI leaders said that the
contempt notices served to them were against the constitution and should be declared illegal.
On August 19, the Election Com
mission of Pakistan (ECP) had issued a
contempt notice to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, Asad Umar, and
Fawad Chaudhry. Earlier, LHC had retrained the Election Com
mission of Pakistan (ECP) from taking action against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders in a case pertaining to
contempt notice.
