SC once again rejects PTI's plea to declare ECP order on re-polling in NA-75 ‘illegal’
Islamabad: The Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) has again rejected Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) plea to declare Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP)’s decision regarding re-polling in NA-75 Daska constituency as ‘illegal’

According to details, the decision was announced by a three-member bench, headed by Justice Umar Ata Bandial, while hearing a plea regarding the NA-75 Daska by-elections.
During the proceedings, a report was submitted by the electoral body stating that on the day of by-polls, Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) had called chief secretary, IGP several times but there was no response.
The PTI’s lawyer said that his client has no issue with re-elections at 20 polling stations and requested the apex court to nullify the ECP’s order until the hearing of case in the top court.
Justice Bandial said that the electoral body had ordered re-election after noticing code of conduct violations.
“ECP took its decision on the basis of a report which stated that 20 presiding officers had gone missing after the polling concluded as well as the violence witnessed in Daska on polling day,” he remarked.
Later, the court adjourned the hearing of the case until next week.
Earlier March 16, the apex court had rejected ruling party’s request to suspend the ECP order on holding of re-polls in NA-75.
