ISLAMABAD, Aug 23 (INP): The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) Wednesday issued a second show-cause notice to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman, Imran Khan, over his failure to file response to an earlier notice in the contempt of court proceeding against him. Khan is facing the case over his scandalous remarks about the commission. The contempt petition was filed by PTI founding member Akbar S. Babar. A full bench of the ECP headed by Chief Election Commissioner retired Justice Sardar Mohammad Raza is hearing the case. In today’s hearing, PTI counsel Babar Awan said his client could not file the reply since written order of the commission has been received just two days back on Monday (Aug 22). At which, the Chief Election Commissioner (ECE) Justice (retd) Sardar Raza Khan said the orders were issued on Aug 15. The PTI lawyer raised questions over authority of the commission, saying that his client is contemplating to file appeal against ECP’s decision, and that the commission has no powers to hear the contempt of court case and issue notice to Imran Khan. Akbar S. Babar also argued before the bench. He said Imran Khan humiliated institutions instead of admitting his wrongdoing. The commission, meanwhile, issued a second show-cause notice to Imran Khan ordering him to submit his detailed response. The case has been adjourned till Sept. 14. INP/AJ
