Election Case | Chief Justice Ka Justice Faez Isa Ky Bare Ma Ahem Bayan

On Monday, the Supreme Court of Pakistan resumed the hearing of a plea challenging the delay in the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa elections by the Election Commission of Pakistan. The three-member bench, including Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial, questioned the PPP counsel Farooq H. Naek on whether his party had boycotted the proceedings, as media reports suggested. The hearing was attended by Attorney General for Pakistan Mansoor Awan, ECP lawyers Irfan Qadir and Sajeel Swati, and PTI lawyer Ali Zafar, along with the secretaries of finance and interior ministries. The AGP argued that the PTI petition was based on the SC’s March 1 verdict, which instructed the president to select a date for elections in Punjab and the governor to pick a date for polls in KP. However, the KP governor did not select a date until the petition was filed. The CJP emphasized that only the apex court had the authority to delay elections, and the Election Commission of Pakistan had no such power to do so. Earlier, the Shehbaz-led government filed a fresh petition seeking the reconstitution of the bench hearing the elections' delay case without judges who heard the suo motu notice. A miscellaneous plea was filed by the AGP ahead of the scheduled hearing of the suo motu on the PTI petition challenging the ECP's order for postponing the Punjab election to Oct 8. The bench was broken up twice after two judges decided not to be part of the bench. The three-member bench summoned the secretaries of interior and finance. During the previous hearing, the request of the AGP to form a full court was rejected by the Supreme Court. In today's hearing, the Attorney General and caretaker government lawyers were expected to present their arguments. #ecp #pti #supremecourt Welcome to the official channel of Dunya News.
