A miscellaneous petition has been submitted to the Lahore High Court, requesting the enforcement of the Supreme Court’s decision concerning the allocation of reserved seats.
The application, filed by Munir Ahmed, calls for the implementation of the Supreme Court’s ruling. The petitioner contends that, despite a comprehensive decision from the eight-member Supreme Court bench, the ruling remains unimplemented. According to the petitioner, the Supreme Court provided a clear directive, yet the reserved seats for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have not been allocated.
The petition also noted that letters have been dispatched to the speakers of all four provincial assemblies, urging compliance with the Supreme Court’s ruling. However, the PTI has not yet received the reserved seats as mandated by the court.
The petitioner has asked the Lahore High Court to issue an order requiring the relevant authorities to promptly implement the Supreme Court’s decision and allocate the reserved seats to PTI without any further delay.
On Monday, the Supreme Court released a 70-page judgment regarding the reserved seats case involving the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC), authored by Justice Mansoor Ali Shah. The detailed verdict emphasized that the stakes in elections fundamentally lie with the people, highlighting the distinctive nature of electoral disputes compared to other civil matters.
The judgment aims to clarify the legal principles and procedures involved in electoral issues, reinforcing the necessity of a fair and transparent electoral process.
