Amjad Pervaiz, counsel for the Election Commission of Pakistan, had concluded his remarks at the prior hearing.
When the petition for sentence suspension was made, he opposed it, claiming that the PTI chairman had omitted the Toshakhana information from his asset disclosures.
The attorney said that a notice must be sent to the public prosecutor in this matter. Amjad Pervaiz demanded that the hearing should not continue without notifying the state and hearing their argument.
A complainant is never appointed a party in NAB cases, the top justice said. The counsel replied that a bureau prosecutor is heard in NAB cases and that the state does not intervene.

The ECP attorney argued that only the state is referenced in the law; the word “complainant” is not used.
According to Amjad Pervaiz, the magistrate has never received a complaint alleging corrupt behaviour in connection with a judgement.
He highlighted the opposing party’s assertion that complaint couldn’t be sustained due to not being filed at the correct venue. However, he contradicted this claim, stating that it was inaccurate and far from the truth.
The ECP counsel asserted that they had also harassed the judge who rendered the decision in the Toshakhana case, adding that the defence had taken the position that this was the first instance in which the suspect had not been given the chance to defend himself.
Additionally, The lawyer said that the Election Commission of Pakistan’s members all concurred in approving the filing of the complaint in their ruling.
According to Amjad Pervaiz, the trial court had 44 hearings, but Imran Khan only showed up for four of them.
