ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court has Thursday returned the PTI’s plea seeking protection from the law enforcement agencies (LEAs) as the PTI planned on holding a second long march.
The Supreme Court’s registrar raised objections to the petition, noting that the top court had already issued an order on the matter, and the PTI had not moved the relevant forum.
“The petitioner (PTI) has not approached any other appropriate forum available under the law for the same relief and has also not provided any justification for not doing so,” the SC’s registrar said while raising the objection.
Among other issues, the top court’s registrar said the plea mentions were “controversial issues” in paragraphs 4, 5, 12, and 14.
Just after PTI Secretary-General Asad Umar filed the plea in the apex court yesterday morning, Khan had announced that his next plan of action would rely on the court’s ruling.
