Notices have been sent by the Islamabad High Court to the Senate chairman and secretary and the federal government over PPP leader Yousaf Raza Gillani's intra-court appeal against the Senate chairman election.
Gilani had requested the court to quash the presiding officer's decision to reject seven votes and had demanded the immediate suspension of the presiding officer's decision regarding the Senate election.
The intra-court appeal was filed by Gillani through his lawyer Farooq H Naik, Javed Iqbal Venus, and Barrister Umar Sheikh.
The PPP leader, who is also the current Opposition leader in Senate, had sought annulment of the single bench judgment in the intra-court appeal.
