The PTI leader adopted in the plea that the ECP had no authority to disqualify for a lifetime. The Election Commission of Pakistan is not an authorized court of law, he added. The Islamabad Hugh Court had dismissed the plea in haste, Vawda said.

The petition prayed the apex court to declare the ECP’s decision null and void and restore the petitioner as a senator.
