The case has garnered attention due to its implications on the internal dynamics of the PTI, and the court’s directive signals an urgency for clarity and resolution before the specified deadline.

Earlier on Monday the PHC had reserved its verdict which was announced today. On Tuesday, a two-member bench of the PHC had also barred the ECP from giving its decision in PTI’s intra-party election and election symbol case till December 21.

Justice SM Atiq Shah and Justice Sahibzada Asadullah conducted the hearing on the writ petition of PTI against the ECP’s notice related to intra-party elections and the election symbol.
