Islamabad: The Supreme Court of Pakistan Wednesday directed the
Election Commission to complete preparation of voters’ lists till
December 31.
A three-member bench of the apex court headed by
chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry was hearing Imran Khan’s
petition, seeking elimination of bogus votes from voters list.
The Chief Justice said the court would have to pass order against Secretary ECP because he had done nothing.
The
NADRA and Election commission produced their reports regarding
preparation of new voters’ list. The ECP secretary told the court that
the process was delayed after Sindh and Khyber Pakhutunkhwa governments
sends resolutions asking for delay due to floods and law and order
situation.
The Chief Justice said Sindh had not send any
resolution while peace had been restored in Swat as he himself visited
the valley recently.
He said that voters’ lists should be
precise and according to CNIC. The Chief Justice remarked that 44
percent of votes were bogus and there would be chaos in the country if
next polls were held on the basis of same lists. Online
