Republicof Pakistain, 1973 and as such for resolving the important constitutional issue, we admit this petition for regular hearing."
The PTI and PAT demands which the verdict has referred to in the nine-page verdict are as follows:
"(a) The Prime Minister of Pakistain should step down; (b) The Parliament of Pakistain be dissolved; (c) Election Commission be re-constituted; and (d) Interim government of technocrats be formed and election be held.
And in case the above said demands are not accepted, they will continue with their Dharna (sit-in) in Islamabad D-Chowk and they will choke the entire system unless their demands are accepted."
The court observed that leaders and activists of PTI and PAT could face legal action in case the constitution was violated.
