ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court reiterated its recommendation that the PTI return and join the National Assembly since the people had chosen their MPs for a five-year period.
The top court’s recommendation came during a hearing of PTI’s appeal against the Islamabad High Court’s (IHC) decision to dismiss its appeal of the party’s MNAs’ resignations being accepted piecemeal.The party was instructed to return to parliament and participate in the NA by Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial, who presided over the two-member bench that also included Justice Ayesha Malik.
Since the Imran Khan-led party was removed from power, the top court has repeatedly encouraged it to return to parliament during hearings of various cases.The court postponed the proceedings indefinitely after hearing the arguments.
