The Peshawar High Court (PHC) reserved the verdict on Tuesday on a petition filed by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) against its single bench ruling which had restored Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) electoral 'bat' symbol.
The electoral body had filed a review petition at the high court against its December 26 decision which had suspended the ECP's order and restored the PTI"s 'bat' symbol till a final decision on the matter.
The ECP, in its order, had declared PTI's intra-party polls "illegal" and stripped it of the 'bat' symbol. Following its order, the former ruling party approached the PHC seeking to restore its party symbol ahead of the general elections slated for February 8.
