Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)  approached the Supreme Court (SC) against the Peshawar High Court (PHC) verdict, which restored the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) order, leading to the revocation of the party’s electoral symbol, ‘bat’.

The petition was filed with the apex court under Article 185 of the Constitution.

The petitioner pleaded with the Supreme Court to fix the matter for hearing tomorrow (Friday) due to the urgent nature of the case.

The Peshawar High Court (PHC) revoked the stay order and restored the ECP decision to declare PTI intra-party polls null and void and stripping it of its election symbol — bat.

On December 26, the high court announced the verdict on PTI’s petition challenging the ECP’s verdict, which had stripped PTI of using the ‘bat’ symbol.
