PTI wants CJP Faez Isa to distance himself from cases against Imran Khan, PTI

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has called upon the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa to distance himself from cases proceeding against PTI founder Imran Khan and his party workers.

The PTI core committee expressed concerns on the proceedings, alleging that CJP Isa is biassed against Imran Khan and demanding that the Judge should recuse himself from the cases.

The party alleged that CJP Isa’s hearing of their cases had a “negative impact” on a fair trial.

The Supreme Court (SC) is scheduled to hear Sunni Ittehad Council’s reserved seats case on June 3. CJP Isa is leading the bench. Justice Musarrat Hilali will not hear the case due to illness.

Three judges, including Justice Mansoor Ali Shah, Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar, and Justice Athar Minallah, suspended the verdict of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and Peshawar High Court (PHC) regarding the allocation of reserved seats to other political parties.
