Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senator Faisal Vawda filed a petition at the Islamabad High Court (IHC) seeking a stay against the proceedings of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in his disqualification case, reports Geo Urdu.
Chief Justice IHC Athar Minallah dismissed the case and rejected Vawda’s petition.
Vawda had adopted the stance that the case against him in the ECP had become invalid as the body could not make a decision within the time limit. The ECP was bound to decide the complaints within 60 days after he was elected. He requested the court to turn down the ECP decision dated October 12 and declare the case against him null and void.
Justice Athar Minallah questioned, “Why are you afraid of being investigated by the ECP? Your application is inadmissble, it is rejected.”
