• IHC suspends de-notification of three PTI MNAs
• Asad Umar, Ali Nawaz Awan, Khurram Nawaz filed petition
• IHC also suspended by-polls in their constituencies

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday suspended the de-notification of three more Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MNAs.

The high court while issuing interim order also suspended the by-elections in the constituencies of those MNAs.

A petition was filed in IHC by Asad Umar, Ali Nawaz Awan, and Khurram Nawaz challenging the notification of the Speaker National Assembly (NA) regarding the acceptance of the resignations and de-notification by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).

In the petition, they took the stand that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) accepted the resignations of some PTI members in the notification issued on January 17, 2023, when the resignations of all 123 members should have been accepted and all should have been de-seated.

Earlier, the Lahore High Court (LHC) suspended the order of de-notification of 43 PTI MNAs who resigned en masse last year.
