The Peshawar High Court (PHC) has warned of issuing a stay order on the Senate polls if the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly does not swear in as MPA Baldev Kumar, an accused in the murder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MPA Sardar Soran Singh.
Peshawar, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 02nd Mar, 2018) The Peshawar High Court (PHC) has warned of issuing a stay order on the Senate polls if the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly does not swear in as MPA Baldev Kumar, an accused in the murder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MPA Sardar Soran Singh.
During a hearing on Friday regarding the oath-taking, the PHC ordered Kumar be sworn in as an MPA.
The failure to do so will lead to the issuance of stay order on the Senate election due on Saturday (tomorrow), remarked Justice Ikramullah Khan.
The court also sought a response from the advocate general of KP regarding the oath-taking of Kumar. On February 27, Kumar was produced in the KP Assembly for taking oath as an MPA on the orders of the high court, but he had to be escorted out to the assembly lobby with the help of security personnel when PTI MPA Arbab Jahandad hurled a shoe at him.
