The PTI has filed a review plea before the Supreme Court against its January 13 verdict wherein it upheld the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) order of revoking the party’s electoral symbol of ‘bat’.

In its review petition, the PTI urged the apex court to “recall” its earlier order and also declare the ECP verdict as “without jurisdiction, without lawful authority and illegal and liable to be set aside”.

It further requested that the Peshawar High Court’s verdict of reinstating the party symbol be upheld. While the SC’s registrar office has allotted a number to the plea, it is yet to be fixed for hearing.

The PTI; its secretary general Omer Ayub Khan; leaders Barrister Gohar Ali Khan and Niazullah Niazi; Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chapter presidents Muneer Ahmed Baloch and Ali Amin Gandapur; and party’s KP vice presidents Zahir Shah and Amjad Taj have been made petitioners in the case.

The ECP, founding member Akbar S. Babar, Noureen Farooq and others are among the respondents. Hamid, Gohar, Barrister Ali Zafar and Qazi Anwar have been appointed as the PTI’s counsels for the case.
