    The Lahore High Court (LHC) dismissed PTI's plea against the withdrawal of the election symbol bat on Thursday.

    The LHC Justice Jawad Hasan announced the reserved verdict and declared the application ‘inadmissible’.

    PTI's local leader Umar Aftab Dhillon moved LHC against the withdrawal of the election symbol bat.

    The Peshawar High Court (PHC) has announced its reserved verdict in the case regarding the election symbol for the PTI and its intra-party elections.

    The court has accepted the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) plea and withdrew its previous stay order on the ECP verdict annulling the PTI’s intra-party poll and subsequently withdrawing its election symbol of bat.

    The high court had suspended the election commission’s decision on a plea of the PTI. Filing a review, the ECP had contended that the court announced its stay on the commission’s decision to nullify the PTI’s intra-party election and withdraw its bat election symbol without hearing it.

    With the PHC’s withdrawal of its stay order, the ECP’s decision of December 22 against the PTI has been revived.
