In a significant development, a plea on Saturday filed in the Supreme Court seeking the dismissal of President Arif Alvi from office.

The petition, lodged by a citizen whose identity remains undisclosed, asserts that President Arif Alvi has demonstrated bias and is deemed unfit to hold the prestigious position of the head of the country.

The petitioner accuses the President of deviating from his constitutional duties and misusing his office for partisan gains.

Serious allegations

According to the filed petition, President Alvi is purportedly utilising his office in favor of the ruling party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI).

The petitioner contends that the President failed to fulfill his constitutional obligations by not announcing the date for upcoming elections, a move that has raised concerns about the democratic process.

Social media controversy

The citizen's plea highlights President Alvi's use of social media platforms to express opinions on sensitive matters, including the Army Act and the Official Secrets Act.

The President's alleged partiality is further underscored by his refusal to sign these critical legislations, as claimed in the petition.

Key parties named

In a notable development, the petitioner has named President Arif Alvi, his secretary, and the Ministry of Law and Justice as parties to the request. This move signals a comprehensive challenge to the President's actions, bringing multiple stakeholders into the legal fray.

The crux of the petition calls upon the Supreme Court to investigate the allegations against President Arif Alvi thoroughly. Should the President be found guilty of misconduct, the petitioner requests the court to order appropriate action, including the removal of President Arif Alvi from office.
