Islamabad: The Supreme Court (SC) of Pakistan on Monday accepted the appeal of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), upholding its suspension of the Lahore High Court’s (LHC) June 12 verdict in the Punjab election tribunals matter.
The appellate court released its reserved verdict on the electoral watchdog's appeal seeking a final determination on whether the commission or the LHC held primacy in the appointment of election tribunals.
The ECP's appeal had requested the SC to overturn the LHC ruling that under Article 219(c), read with Article 222(b) of the Constitution, the high court chief justice has pre-eminence or dominance in matters of appointment of election tribunals under Section 140 of the Elections Act 2017.
