The Sindh High Court Hyderabad Bench on Tuesday set aside The Election Commission of Pakistan’s decision of disqualifying PPP candidate Waheeda Shah, who won by-election from PS-53 Tando Muhammad Khan constituency. A two-member SHC bench of Justice Aqil Abbasin and Justice Nisar Sheikh heard a petition moved by Wahida, who had been disqualified by the ECP for two years for torturing a polling office.
The ECP had also announced by-poll in PS-53 on May 26. During the hearing Wahida’s counsel Haider Imam Rizvi appeared before the court and gave arguments against the ECP decision. Upon this, the court issued notice to the ECP and other persons concerned to appear before the court on May 15 and also ordered the cancellation of by-polls in the constituency.
So, how do you like your justice or your judicial system?
I don't see how the constitutional authority of the judiciary becomes superior to an independent election commission's constitutional authority in it's own jurisdiction…
possible in Pakistan…
