State should prevent court-martialed person from using his rank. Petitioner apprises court of him being out of country via email. CJP Isa wonders if the case is part of some "conspiracy".

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) Wednesday disposed of the petition seeking re-election and annulment of the February 8 polls and imposed a fine of Rs500,000 on the petitioner over his failure to appear before the court.
The development comes as a three-member SC bench led by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa, comprising Justice Musarrat Hilali and Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar, conducted the hearing on Brig (retd) Ali Khan's petition urging the apex court to annul the polls and order re-elections over alleged rigging.
Several political parties including Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Jamaat-e-Islami and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) and others have expressed dissatisfaction over the transparency of the general elections
Doubts over the polls were further exacerbated by the revelations made by now-former Rawalpindi Division commissioner Liaqat Chatha, who on Saturday, tendered his resignation out of "guilty conscience" for abetting large-scale electoral rigging in the garrison city further raising the political mercury in the country.
