Govt demands full court to hear plea against postponement of elections

ISLAMABAD (92 News) - The government has demanded a full court to hear the plea against the postponement of the elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Talking to the media on Tuesday, Federal Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar said that the government requests the present bench to form a full court to hear the plea and interpret all matters, including the powers of the Election Commission of Pakistan.

"The constitutional interpretations that affect the masses deeply should not have the decision of a person. For this reason, only a collective thought can find out a solution. It is considered to be correct," he added.

He said that the ECP is performing its duty under the Article 218(3). "The ECP is not bound to any decision. It is not my duty to give a legal advice to the ECP," he added.
