The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued a notice to the attorney general of Pakistan for appearance in the case regarding voting rights to overseas Pakistanis.
The petition has been filed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan.
A three-member SC bench, comprising Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, Justice Gulzar Ahmed and Justice Sheikh Azmat Saeed, resumed the hearing into case.
During the course of the proceedings, Hamid Khan, counsel for Imran stated that during the last hearing, the federation had committed to coming out with solid points in this regard.
When the CJP put this question to Munir Paracha, the counsel for the Election Commission of Pakistan, he excused from giving any statement, saying he was not present in the last hearing.
The CJP said no concrete proposal could be seen which could enable the overseas Pakistanis to use their right to vote.
Later, the proceedings were adjourned until March 13 and a notice was issued to the attorney general to appear before the court in the next hearing.
