PTI files a Supreme Court challenge to the Election Act Amendment.

Published

PTI chairman Barrister Gohar filed a constitutional petition under Article 184(3) of the Constitution, stating that the amending legislation is illegitimate and unconstitutional and asking the court to declare it all worthless.

Both the Election Commission and the federal government have become parties to the litigation through PTI. In addition, the party has asked the court to stop the Election Commission right away from giving reserved seats to other political parties.

In addition, as PTI has already provided the Election Commission with the necessary lists, the party has requested that the court grant the party’s request for the awarding of reserved seats for women and minorities.

In light of the ruling on July 12, the party said that it is legally entitled to the reserved seats. In order to help PTI, the Supreme Court has been asked to consider the case.

Bill 2024, an amendment to the Election Act, was approved by the NA yesterday. A bill introduced in the lower house of Parliament by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) MP Bilal Azhar Kiyani sought changes to the Elections Act 2017 to prevent legislators from subsequently altering their party affiliation.

Tear copies of the House agenda were produced by the opposition in protest against the Election Act Amendment Bill 2024’s passing.

Congressmen who join a party within three days of winning an election are not permitted to switch parties, under the bill. It is also not possible to assign reserved seats to a party that did not receive a single seat in the election.

Laws were passed after the Supreme Court gave Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf special seats.

With a huge blow to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s ruling coalition, a 13-member bench of the Supreme Court led by Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa decided that the PTI is entitled to reserved seats.

Declaring the 8–5 majority decision, Justice Mansoor Ali Shah overturned the PHC’s (Peshawar High Court) ruling that had affirmed the ECP’s (Electoral Commission of Pakistan) decision to deny the SIC the reserved seats.

Judge Jamal Mandokhail, Judge Naeem Afghan, Judge Yahya Afridi, Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa, and Judge Ameenuddin Khan disapproved of the majority ruling.
