ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court of Pakistan has officially delisted the Election Tribunal case citing the non-availability of Justice Jamal Mandukhail as the main reason.

The original hearing of the case was to be held on August 19 by a five-member bench headed by the Chief Justice of Pakistan. However, due to the absence of Justice Jamal Mandukhail, the hearing will not be able to proceed as scheduled.

PTI’s lawyer Salman Akram Raja had earlier filed an application to adjourn the hearing. In the application, he said that senior lawyer Hamid Khan is currently out of the country till September 6.

In view of this situation, Hamid Khan had also submitted a leave application, requesting that the hearing of the case be adjourned till his return.

The Supreme Court’s decision to delist the case means that a new hearing date will be fixed after the bench is fully available and the legal teams involved are in place.
