| Imran Khan was disqualified by the Election Commission in the prohibited funding case.. |
Lahore High Court Judge Justice Ali Zia Bajwa has excused himself from hearing the request of Chairman Tehreek-e-Insaf Imran Khan. In the petition, Imran Khan requested to stop the FIA investigation in the prohibited funding case.
Justice Ali Zia Bajwa has sent back the case file to the Chief Justice for appointment in another bench.
In his petition, Chairman PTI had made the Deputy Director FIA and the Investigation Officer of the Interior Ministry DG FIA a party.
He took the stand in the petition that the FIA had sent the summons notice on October 31 to target political revenge.
It should be noted that the Federal Investigation Agency (FI) is investigating the funding to Tehreek-e-Insaaf after the verdict in the FI case.
It should be noted that the Federal Investigation Agency (FI) is investigating the funding to Tehreek-e-Insaaf after the verdict in the FI case.FIA had issued a notice to Imran Khan for the purpose of inquiry related to a bank account of PTI Punjab. In the same case, FIA had earlier arrested PTI's funding member Hamid Zaman, but later he was released on bail.
Imran Khan has taken a stand in his petition that "FIA started an inquiry to harass me." An inquiry has been launched to benefit political opponents. No organization had any objection to playing the accounts of the party. The Election Commission's decision on prohibited funding did not direct the FIA to investigate the accounts...
The petition also states that the Election Commission did not ask Imran Khan for account details or explanation. The Election Commission had only asked for the records of remittance of accounts.
Imran Khan explained his plea that PTI Punjab accounts were used for office expenses. It is the constitutional right of every political party to collect funds under the constitution. It should be noted that the Ministry of Interior through a tweet on August 3 indicated to consider putting Imran Khan's name in the ECL.
Imran Khan has taken the stand that the Deputy Director FIA and the Investigation Officer have started an inquiry beyond the Ministry of Interior and have started sending summons notices. The Political Parties Order 2002 contains the entire procedure for the trial of prohibited funding.
He has also taken the stand that FIA has no authority to conduct an inquiry against the funding of a political party. Therefore, the FIA's inquiry into the allegation of prohibited funding should be annulled as illegal and the summoning notice issued today on November 7 in the FIA should also be annulled.
