Supreme Court Justice Nasirul Mulk has said that unofficial election results cannot be preferred over official ones and it is altogether a wrong practice to delay the process.
He gave these remarks during hearing of the case regarding the eligibility of former candidate of Pakistan People’s Party Waheeda Shah in Supreme Court (SC) on Thursday.
The apex court said that result of 102 polling stations should not have been delayed.
Counsel for Waheeda Shah, Wakeel Hashmat had contended that his client was declared successful unofficially.
It is worth mentioning that PPP candidate Waheeda Shah was declared ineligible for contesting elections after she publicly slapped an officer of a polling station to pressurize the staff despite presence of police officials there.
