The Supreme Court of Pakistan (SC) will resume the hearing of petition filed against registration of bogus votes by Election Commission of Pakistan, today (Monday).
A three-member bench of the apex court comprising chief Justice
Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, Justice Tassaduq Hussain Jillani and
Justice Khilji Arif Hussain will hear Constitutional Petitions filed by
Imran Khan, Chief of Pakistan Tahreek-e-Insaf, under Article 184 of the
constitution of Pakistan for the preparation of electoral rolls after
eliminating all bogus votes.
Earlier on 19th May SC had directed the federal government and
Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to find out a way to overcome the
status of bye-elections after adoption of the 18th Constitutional
Amendment within three weeks.
Court had ordered that if it is not done so, than the court being
custodian of the constitution will pass an order to save the system
from other illusions and to ensure that all the organs of the state
continue working under the constitution. SANA
