Judges remark ECP bound to implement judgement passed by SC without seeking any further clarification


Islamabad: The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Friday reiterated that parliament's amendment to the Elections Act does not have a retrospective effect and it could not undo the top court's judgment in the reserved seats case.
Eight judges, who announced the verdict in reserved seats, issued explanations.
On July 12, a 13-judge full bench of the apex court had declared that the opposition PTI was eligible to receive reserved seats for women and non-Muslims in the national and provincial assemblies, dealing a major setback to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s ruling coalition and potentially making the PTI the single largest party in both houses of Parliament.
