IHC halts NA-47 tribunal proceedings

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Thursday temporarily barred a newly formed election tribunal from proceeding with cases concerning the NA-47 constituency.

Islamabad High Court (IHC) Chief Justice Aamer Farooq issued the injunction while hearing a petition filed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shoaib Shaheen.

The petition challenged the Election Commission's decision in this regard.

The court's decision effectively suspends the tribunal's operations related to NA-47, where Tariq Fazal Chaudhry of the PML-N was elected as MNA.
