It should be noted that the Supreme Court gave a safe order regarding the delay of the elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The court ordered to hold elections in both provinces in 90 days.
A 5-member bench headed by Chief Justice Umar Atta Bandial heard the impromptu messages related to elections in Punjab province and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Apart from the Chief Justice, the bench includes Justice Mansoor Ali Shah, Justice Muneeb Akhtar, Justice Jamal Khan Mandukhel and Justice Mohammad Ali Mazhar.
The Supreme Court reserved the decision after concluding the hearing yesterday, while the court allowed the request of the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa speakers. The court made its decision by a majority of 3-2 and the decision was affirmed by Chief Justice Umar Atta Bandial, Justice Muneeb Akhtar and Justice Mohammad Ali Mazhar. The Supreme Court has also issued a written decision on the notice itself, which decision consists of 13 pages and the dissenting notes of Justice Jamal Mandukhel and Justice Mansoor Ali Shah consist of 2 pages.
The dissenting note of Justice Jamal Mandukhel and Justice Mansoor Ali Shah argued that the automated message was taken unnecessarily and hastily. The case of spontaneous notification of elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and PTI’s constitutional petitions are inadmissible. The suo motu case and PTI’s constitutional pleas are dismissed.
