PESHAWAR: In response to the Peshawar High Court’s (PHC) single-bench ruling regarding Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) famous electoral “bat” symbol, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) filed a review petition there on Saturday.

The ruling on PTI’s appeal against the ECP’s ruling, which had deemed the party’s internal polls “illegal” and barred it from using the “bat” symbol, was made public by the high court on December 26.

The PHC revoked the ECP’s order and reinstated the party’s “bat” symbol until the petition was finally decided, all the while declaring a reserved verdict. The court further declared that the case will be heard by a double bench following the winter break.

The ECP has asked the court to examine the PTI’s intra-party elections and its choice of election symbol in its petition.
