The Supreme Court has turned down the request of PTI Chairman for issuing a stay order on the trial against him in Toshakhana case.
The court disposed of the PTI chief’s appeal against a high court decision. It ruled that it was asking the high court to decide chairman PTI's appeal and other applications together.
The court maintained that it would not be proper to interfere with the proceedings of the trial court.
The election commission’s lawyer said the high court had remanded the case back to the trial court, which conducted a re-trial and declared the case maintainable.
Amjad Pervaiz said the PTI chairman was challenging the declaration of maintainability of the case again. His re-appeal in the high court is scheduled for hearing tomorrow, the lawyer told the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court had earlier called the election commission’s officer to the rostrum and told him that he will be heard today and a decision announced.
The SC had issued a notice to the Election Commission of Pakistan on chairman PTI's appeal. A division bench of the Supreme Court headed by Justice Yahya Afridi conducted the hearing.
