The Sindh High Court (SHC) registrar wrote a letter on Monday to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), expressing reservations over the set-up of election appellate tribunals, adding that they (the tribunals) were set up without consulting the SHC.
The letter stated that the election tribunals were set up in the province without consulting the SHC and that the election tribunals were to be set up with prior consultation with the
chief justices of the respective provincial high courts according to the Supreme Court of Pakistan’s orders.
The ECP had approved formation of 14 election tribunals in the provinces to decide disputes during general elections within 120 days of filing of a petition.
