IHC dismisses petition against ECP

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday rejected another petition filed to declare the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) null and void.

A single SC bench, comprising Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui, heard the petition of Niaz Inqilabi Advocate who stated that appointment of the chief election commissioner was not in accordance with the constitution, therefore the ECP be declared null and void.
Justice Siddiqui said in his remarks that “why this issue was not raised when ECP chief was appointed? As the elections are approaching you have turned up to object over it.”
“The doctrine of necessity has been buried and so would be the conspiratorial tactics…This petition is therefore non-maintainable,” observed Justice Siddiqui rejecting the plea.
