ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday adjourned the hearing of a contempt case against the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, and former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry until January 24.
A four-member panel of the Election Commission of Pakistan headed by ECP’s Sindh member conducted a hearing on a case involving insults to the electoral body’s chief and others.

The case originally included charges of using derogatory language against the electoral watchdog and its head.
The hearing has been relocated to the election commission headquarters after multiple postponements and requests for adjournments, often held in Adiala Jail.
During the hearing, PTI lawyer Shoaib Shaheen said that he had not received any notice about today’s (Tuesday) hearing.
He said he had learned about the proceedings on TV in the morning. The member of the commission then questioned DD (Law) about whether notices had been sent to the parties.
The ECP adjourned the subsequent hearing of the case until January 24.
