  In a plot twist that could rival the most dramatic cricket match, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) found itself in a sticky wicket as the Supreme Court bowled them out of their iconic cricket bat symbol. The apex court's decision left the PTI scrambling for alternatives, leading to a comedy of errors that even Shakespeare would find amusing. It all began with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) deciding to invalidate the PTI's intra-party polls, causing disgruntled party members to raise their voices louder than a stadium full of cricket fans. The Peshawar High Court (PHC) swooped in, declaring the ECP's decision "illegal, without any lawful authority and of no legal effect," sending the PTI into a celebratory dance reminiscent of a cricket team winning a match. However, the joyous dance was short-lived as the Supreme Court, in a move that could make any cricket ball jealous of its curve, set aside the PHC's order, stripping the PTI of its beloved cr...

In a courtroom drama that seems straight out of a Shakespearean play with a modern political twist, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) are embroiled in a gripping saga over the coveted 'bat' symbol. As the Peshawar High Court (PHC) takes center stage, the plot thickens with each legal maneuver and political jab. The PTI, not one to shy away from the limelight, filed a contempt of court petition against the ECP, accusing it of disobedience for failing to promptly issue the party certificate on their website. In this high-stakes game of political chess, the 'bat' symbol serves as the ultimate prize – a symbol that holds not just political weight but also the key to the PTI's electoral fate. The PHC judges, Justice Shakeel Ahmed and Justice Waqar Ahmed, presided over a courtroom spectacle where Advocates Qazi Anwar and Shah Faisal Ilyas presented their arguments with the fervor of seasoned performers. The legal theatrics un...

  In the latest episode of the gripping political sitcom, "As the Election Symbol Turns," the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) seems to have developed an unexpected phobia – an acute fear of bats. No, not the flying nocturnal creatures, but the electoral symbol of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). It all started when the Peshawar High Court (PHC) delivered a verdict that left the ECP in a state of shock and awe. The court, channeling its inner superhero, swooped in and decreed that PTI could keep its beloved 'bat' symbol, much to the dismay of the ECP, which is now contemplating its own superhero move – a daring appeal to the Supreme Court. Picture this: ECP officials in capes, armed with legal briefs and grappling hooks, preparing to challenge the mighty 'bat' in the hallowed halls of justice. It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's the ECP, ready to face the daunting foe – a winged mammal holding a cricket bat. The high-stakes saga began when the ...

In a plot twist that would make even the most seasoned scriptwriters jealous, Justice Sayyed Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi has taken center stage, bowing out from the Supreme Court in a tragicomic performance that has left the legal community gasping for words, much like a Shakespearean tragedy meets a sitcom. Picture this: A seasoned judge, once donned in the prestigious robes of the Supreme Court, now pens a farewell letter akin to a dramatic monologue, expressing the woes of facing circumstances that are "a matter of public knowledge." The audience, in this case, the general public, is left with bated breath, wondering what on earth could have happened. In a move that could be dubbed the ultimate mic drop, Justice Naqvi declares, "Considerations of due process also compel. I, therefore, effective today resign as judge of the Supreme Court of Pakistan." Exit stage left, with a flourish, leaving the legal fraternity and the public in stunned silence. The plot thickens as...

In a tragic turn of events, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) has witnessed a surge in attacks on police personnel, with three separate incidents occurring within a span of three days. The most recent attack took place late on Tuesday night, targeting a police checkpost near the Lachi toll plaza along the Indus Highway in Kohat. The assailants opened fire, resulting in the martyrdom of three lance head constables, Amjad and Junaid, and head constable Waqar.

  In a stunning turn of events, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan found himself in a whirlwind of misfortune, as he was arrested in the GHQ attack case just moments after a release warrant was issued in the cypher case. If this were a Shakespearean play, it would be a tragic comedy of errors, with Imran Khan cast in the leading role of the hapless protagonist caught in the crossfire of judicial chaos. The drama unfolded at the Adiala jail, where the hearing of cases related to the May 9 riots took a virtual twist through video link. Multiple station house officers (SHOs) were present, adding an ensemble cast to the unfolding tragicomedy. As the virtual court commenced, SHO Royal Artillery (RA) Baazar took center stage, making a plea for the physical remand of Imran Khan in the GHQ attack case. One couldn't help but wonder if this was a script straight out of a dark comedy, with the SHO playing the role of a determined antagonist, pushing for the protagonist's in...

  In a plot twist that could rival the most intricate legal dramas on Netflix, Pakistan's Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa, has once again taken center stage in the theater of jurisprudence. In a historic decision, they decided to roll back what some called the "anti-politician" stance, leaving legal pundits scratching their heads and politicians dusting off their 'Sadiq' and 'Ameen' badges. The court, invoking Article 62(1)(f) of the Constitution, which apparently came straight out of General Ziaul Haq's constitutional workshop (because who wouldn't trust a military dictator's crafting skills?), decrees that a person cannot be part of the legislative party if they lack the essential qualities of being "Sadiq and Ameen" – a benchmark that has seen more ambiguity than a toddler's attempt at explaining quantum physics. Legal aficionado Salahuddin Ahmed Advocate exclaimed, "The court now demands a parliamentary ...
