Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Wednesday got its iconic ‘bat’ symbol back as the Peshawar High Court (PHC) annuls the ECP decision.
PHC announced the decision following the hearing of PTI’s petition challenging the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) decision declaring the intra-party election as null and void and revoking their electoral symbol “bat”.
PHC in its verdict termed the ECP’s decision “incorrect”.
The court also ordered the electoral watchdog to issue a certificate to the PTI and suspended the decision that stripped the party of its symbol.
“It is further held and declared that the PTI is entitled to the election symbol strictly in terms of Sections 215 and 217 read with any other enabling provision of the Election Act, 2017 and Election Rules, 2017,” it said.
“PTI is a political party entitled to an election symbol,” the court said.
