Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, Pakistan Peoples Party and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam have withdrawn their application they earlier submitted in the Supreme Court seeking constitution of a full court to take up the suo motu notice regarding delay in announcement of election date in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

The application was taken back on Tuesday after the three political parties directed their lawyers not to pursue the full court plea, said Farooq H Naek.

They were okay with the five-judge larger bench constituted by the Chief Justice of Pakistan to conduct hearing the suo motu notice.
