The Supreme Court on Friday issued a stay order against the holding of by-polls in Tando Muhammad Khan, PS-53, while admitting the appeal of Waheeda Shah against Election Commission (EC) and Sindh High Court (SHC)orders declaring her disqualified.
SC three-member bench headed by Justice Nasirul Mulk, while hearing the appeal issued a stay order against the by-poll scheduled to hold on December 4 in Tando Muhammad Khan, PS 53.
On Nov 4, Chief Election Commissioner retired Justice Fakhrudin G. Ebrahim had upheld the disqualification of Shah, a candidate who had slapped an election official during polling on Feb 25 in the by-election of the PS-53 constituency of Sindh Assembly. Her disqualification had barred her from being elected as a member of an assembly for two years.
According to the CEC’s verdict, Shah had been found guilty of slapping Presiding Officer Habiba Memon and others during the polling of by-elections at the polling station No 16 and had therefore been found guilty of interfering in the polling process.
The ECP had declared the poll of PS-53 void under Section 103-AA of the Act and disqualified Shah from being elected as a member of an assembly for two years under Section 100 of the Act by separate majority decisions.
Subsequently, the Sindh High Court had maintained her conviction but quashed her disqualification on the ground that the power to disqualify under Section 100 of the Act rested exclusively with the Chief Election Commissioner and not with the Election Commission of Pakistan.

    • You idiot, this woman hit another person, which is assualt. For this she must be hit on the her A**S**S. May be in uncivilized world where you live hitting some one is OK. She has no right to hit anybody. This woman beat her own husband to death and now trying take over his seat in parliament.

    • What a baghairat Aurat she is !!! if it was a civilised society she wud never show her face in public again !!! Everyone knows what happened!!! thrs video evidence for it why are u jumpin up and down for Waheeda Shah 2012 !!!

    • Whether the offcer was corrupt or not Waheeda Shah has no right to hit anybody. This is case of an assault. In a civilized the victim would have sued her and deprive her of big chunk of her fortune. I guess in uncivilized soceity assualt is permissible.

  3. waheeda shah is not the issue — electoral frauds and violences and corrupt practices are the main issue .. waheeda shah got punished ..

  4. Is Supreme judiciary which announces in favour and on the another time stays orders issue.is it a free and independent judiciary or functions ?????

    • then why not let the people judge and let waheeda shah recontest the byelection.. anyway– slapping a poll asstt is NOT ELECTORAL FRAUD .. why disqualify waheeda shah .. voters voted he in .. respect voters verdict .. let waheeda shah face charges on slapping as you would if you slap someone on duty … problem is whaeeda shah is PPP and dirty politics in every issue .. How many have been killed by gunshots during elections and how many charge sheeted ? waheeda shah is bad tempered like many millions bad tempered persons can verbally slap others or physically slap others … so what do courts do with bad tempered slappers ? ANGER CONTROL THERAPY NEEDED FOR MILLIONS STARTING WITH SHABAZ SHARIF IMRANKHAN REHMAN MALIK CHIEF JUSTICE CHAUDHARY …

  5. She committed criminal offence of assualt. Criminal should be disqualified from holding public office. Do you really want to be a legislator. What contribution she will make? slap other member araound. She even slapped her husband to death, and that is how his seat became vacant

    • pity you did not get slapped enough to stop ranting foulmouthdog.. SC IS dealing with issues .. tera baap angresg thaa kya ?? so u know better english kutakameena.
      hamidkhan –you make defametory garbage— she even slapped her husband to death — in a civilsed society you would be taken to court and punished severly .. u animal ..dogdog angresidog..
