The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Wednesday asked Advocate Shoaib Shaheen, counsel for former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, to file a reply to the show-cause notice issued to his client in the contempt case, and the ECP would issue the order for his production.
A four-member bench, headed by Member Nisar Durrani, heard the case of indictment of the PTI chairman for making contemptuous remarks against the election commission as well as the chief election commissioner (CEC).
Advocate Shaheen said that since Imran was in Adiala Jail; therefore his production order be issued so that he could appear before the bench. Member Balochistan Shah Muhammad Jatoi asked Imran’s counsel to file a reply to the show-cause notice first before the ECP could issue the production order. Jatoi asked Advocate Shaheen to say whatever he wanted to say in his client’s defence.
