Fazoul Baten na karen jawab den? | ECP Lawyer In Trouble | Reserved Seat | SC Hearing | Aik News
Justice Ayesha asked if the Sunni Ittehad Council wins or loses its case, how will other parties benefit from it? Reserved seats cannot be given away against the principle of proportional representation. She asked what the position was of those taking additional seats. "Explain the formula of proportional representation already enshrined in the Constitution," she remarked.
The chief justice said that the Constitution was sacred and it was necessary to follow it, not an option. "If you want to talk about history, do it completely," he remarked.
On the CJP's remarks, Justice Minallah said that even today the Constitution was not being implemented, adding that the impression should not be given that the court was a part of all this and had buried its head in the sand.
"Everyone is trying to give the impression that we are talking about the past. One day we should say that enough is enough. We cannot close our eyes to the violation of the Constitution. The most important petition in the Supreme Court is about the February 8 elections. The cases of missing persons and violations of fundamental rights are not political cases," Justice Minallah said.
On this, the chief justice said, "We should all admit to our mistakes."
During the hearing, Justice Mansoor questioned if it was possible that there are two candidates of one party from the same constituency, even as covering candidates?
Lawyer Sikandar Bashir said it was not possible, adding that a party leader allotted tickets according to the party's constitution, Justice Muneeb Akhtar asked if he meant the Supreme Court excluded the PTI from the elections by revoking its election symbol of bat. The lawyer replied in the negative.
CJP Isa remarked that if intra-party elections are not held today, they can be held tomorrow. "I was surprised that the PTI is not conducting intra-party elections. Thousands of cases are pending, we cannot hear just one case."
During the hearing, lawyer Makhdoom Ali Khan said that if there were two political parties, reserved seats will be distributed to them. On this, Justice Ayesha Malik said the election result can be easily changed through reserved seats. Justice Jamal Mandokhel remarked that the method of allocation of reserved seats changes in every election.
