LHC reserves verdict on petition against Section 144 in by-election
In the petition filed, it was requested that the court declare the implementation of Section 144 null and void
Lahore: The Lahore High Court (LHC) Thursday reserved its decision on the petition against the implementation of Section 144 in the by-election.
Justice Shahid Bilal Hassan of Lahore High Court heard the petition of citizen Malik Najiullah against the implementation of Article 144 in the by-election.
The petitioner took the position that the Interior Department has no role in the transparency of the election. The implementation of Section 144 is a question mark on the transparency of the election. Section 144 was also implemented in the general elections, against which the petition was filed, however, the single bench rejected it.
It has been stated by the petitioner that he filed an intra-court appeal against the decision of the single bench. Because of the election, the two-member bench did not order against section 144 in the general elections. Section 144 was again imposed in the by-elections which is against the fundamental rights.
In the petition filed, it was requested that the court declare the implementation of Section 144 null and void.
The Lahore High Court reserved its decision on the petition against the implementation of Section 144 in the by-election.
