He made these observations while hearing the PTI’s petition seeking a level-playing field in the general elections.

A three-member bench comprising acting chief justice Sardar Tariq Masood, Justice Minallah and Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah heard the petition.

Referring to the raid at the ex-PTI leader's house, Justice Minallah said whatever happened at politician Usman Dar’s house was published in the newspapers.

The director general law of the Election Commission of Pakistain (ECP) was also present in the court.

The top court directed the ECP representative to meet the PTI counsels at 3:00pm today to address the party’s concerns regarding level-playing field.

The SC also ordered attorney general to assist the ECP in meeting with the PTI lawyers.

’s lawyer, Shoaib Shaheen said Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) orders were still being issued against their leaders despite the issuance of the election schedule.

Neither the PTI candidates were being provided with the nomination papers, nor they were allowed to submit them, he said.

Justice Masood said an order would be issued to the electoral authority to redress all the complaints after reviewing them.
