In a major blow, PTI loses iconic bat symbol as SC annuls PHC order

After a marathon 2-day hearing, SC announced verdict a little before the midnight

In a major blow to PTI, the Supreme Court annulled the Peshawar High Court’s (PHC) January 10 order, depriving the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) of its ‘iconic bat electoral symbol’ just days ahead of the general elections.

A three-member bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa and comprising Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar and Justice Musarrat Hilali announced the reserved verdict after a day-long hearing, late Saturday night.

After apologising for the delay in the verdict, CJP said that the detailed verdict will also be uploaded on the SC website.
