Former premier files contempt petition against ECP with LHC Rawalpindi Bench.

RAWALPINDI -- Former premier and PTI Chief Imran Khan on Thursday has filed petition with Lahore High Court Rawalpindi Bench for contempt proceedings against Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP). The cricketer-turned-politician has filed petition with apex court through his lawyer Faisal Chaudhry while making ECP members Nisar Ahmed, Shah Mehmood, Babar Hassan and Ikram Ullah as respondents.

In the petition, PTI Chief Imran Khan argued that the court had barred the ECP from issuing notice to him but the commissioner had violated the court orders. He appealed the court to initiate contempt proceedings against ECP. It may be noted that Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday last issued bailable arrest warrants for former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan and party leader Fawad Chaudhry in a case pertaining to 'contemptuous remarks' against Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja.
