The appeal of the Election Commission against the decision of the Peshawar High Court was accepted.


Islamabad: The Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa Tuesday remarked during the hearing of a case that some tactics seem to be being used so that the elections do not take place.
According to the details, the Supreme Court heard the Election Commission of Pakistan's (ECP) appeal against the suspension of PK-91 Returning Officer (RO) by the Peshawar High Court (PHC), during which the Election Commission's lawyer argued that the single bench suspended the RO on December 27 without notifying the ECP. The returning officer of Kohat himself sought leave on medical grounds, the PHC did not write anything against the new RO in its order.
The Chief Justice asked the complainant if they want to appoint a returning officer of their choice. ‘It seems that some tactics are being used so that elections do not take place, one returning officer fell ill and another one was appointed. PHC suddenly canceled the appointment, why don't we fine you for canceling the appointment without notice’.
Qazi Faez Isa said that the judge of Peshawar High Court did not consider it appropriate to issue a notice, what kind of orders are being issued by the High Courts? Why it matters and whoever is the RO, why are there unnecessary appeals?
The court stated that the Election Commission did not take any illegal or unconstitutional action. They should start the process of scrutiny immediately.
The appeal of the Election Commission against the decision of the Peshawar High Court was accepted.
On the other hand, the hearing of the case related to forced disappearances is going on in the court.
