LAHORE: A citizen has filed a petition in the Lahore High Court (LHC), seeking contempt proceedings against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan for allegedly undermining the judiciary.

A citizen Mushkoor Hussain filed a plea in the LHC through his Lawyer Nadeem Sarwar.

The petitioner stated that PTI workers across the world ran a campaign against judges and defamed them after a Supreme Court’s five-member bench had nullified National Assembly’s former deputy speaker Qasim Suri’s ruling to dismiss the no-confidence motion against then-prime minister Khan and the subsequent dissolution of the assembly by President Dr. Arif Alvi on the ex-premier’s advice.
The top court had ordered then-NA speaker Asad Qasier to summon the session on April 9 and hold voting on the no-trust motion against the premier.

“Since his government was ousted through a vote of no confidence in Apr 2022, Imran Khan Niazi resorted to various themes mostly contradicting each other to justify that his constitutional ouster was not the result of lack of majority in the National Assembly rather was the result of a conspiracy,” read the petition.

Referring to the riots during the PTI leader’s recent appearance in the LHC and courts in Islamabad, the petitioner said it was “so articulated as if an out-of-law act has been committed by honorable judges by calling Imran Khan to courts. An organized rally was arranged to undermine courts in Lahore as well as in Islamabad.”
