ISLAMABAD
\nThe Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) adjourned on Friday hearing of a case against the disgruntled Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) parliamentarians until Tuesday after lawyer for the party sought some time for reading their written responses.
\nA three-member ECP bench, headed by the chief election commissioner, heard the case. Lawyer for estranged PTI MNA Noor Alam Khan submitted the reply. \u201cWill you give arguments today?\u201d the chief election commissioner asked from him. \u201cYes, I will give the arguments,\u201d answered the lawyer.
\nFaisal Chaudhry, lawyer for the PTI, sought some time from the ECP to read the written responses of the estranged PTI parliamentarians.
\nHe requested from the ECP bench to allow him to read everyone\u2019s answers before starting the arguments.
\n\u201cWe were expecting this from the lawyers for the estranged PTI parliamentarians. But here you are the one who sought time,\u201d said the chief election commissioner. The ECP bench also sought replies from the renegade PTI members of the Punjab Assembly.
\nThe ECP bench, however, disposed of the reference as far as PTI MPA Javed Akhtar was concerned after he said in his statement that he walked out after boycotting the Assembly session and did not cast his vote (in chief minister election). The ECP bench then adjourned the hearing of the case until Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
