ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Wednesday clubbed all applications seeking to revoke the registration of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) with the Commission.
A five-member bench of ECP headed by Election Commissioner Justice (r) chief Sardar Raza Khan heard the applications.
At the very outset of the hearing, the bench directed that all petitions filed by different parties and individual seeking to revoke PML-N registration with the commission should be clubbed together.
The CEC observed that the Commission would hear all the applications together.
The bench adjourned the hearing until September 26, 2017.
Nawaz Sharif’s counsel Jahangir Khan Jadoon appeared before the commission.
The petitions have been filed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Pakistan Awami Tehreek, Advocate Rayees Abdul Wahid and Makhdoom Inqilabi.
The applications sought cancellation of PML-N’s registration with ECP on grounds that the party was solely registered in the name of Nawaz Sharif.
Nawaz Sharif had been restrained from political activities by the Supreme Court in its July 28 verdict in the Panama Papers case, so the registration of the party be cancelled too, argued the petitioners.
