The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has directed authorities to ensure that PTI founder Imran Khan appears in court for the ongoing contempt case hearing.
According to sources, the ECP's four-member commission, led by Nisar Durrani, convened to hear the case against Imran Khan. During the proceedings, the ECP’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa member pointed out that Imran Khan had been acquitted in the Toshakhana case just the day before.
Imran Khan’s lawyer, Faisal Chaudhry, mentioned that although Khan had been arrested in a separate case, his presence was still necessary to record evidence in the contempt case.
The ECP was informed that Khan could attend the hearing through a video link, which was agreed upon. The commission instructed the relevant authorities to ensure his appearance via video link in the next hearing.
Nisar Durrani, the Sindh member of the ECP, further stated that in the next session, the commission would begin recording the statements of witnesses.
As a result, the ECP adjourned the case until December 17, setting a new date for the proceedings.
