According to Geo News, a petition has been filed in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) to avoid the introduction of martial law in the country as the country’s political situation deteriorates.
The Supreme Court of Pakistan directed National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser to hold voting on the no-confidence motion today, but he has yet to enable legislators to vote on the motion against the prime minister.
According to Sources, if the top court’s order is not obeyed someplace, the high court of that jurisdiction takes note.
“Does the prime minister have the ability to remove the army chief without substantial reasoning the Supreme Court, in its judgement, had written that any steps taken by the premier shall be in accordance with the court’s decision,” counsel Adnan Iqbal said in his petition.
“can the prime minister remove the army chief to achieve his political goals?” the petition stated.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Imran Khan has denied rumors that he fired Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa, according to reliable sources.
On the other side, the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) has filed a petition at the Supreme Court against the government for failing to follow the supreme court’s directives — and the case is set to be heard at 12:05 a.m.
