A 13-member full court bench last month announced verdict in favour of PTI ISLAMABAD – The Election Commission of Pakistan has decided to file a review petition regarding the Supreme Court 's decision on reserved seats in the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf favour. Last month, a 13-member full court bench led by Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa delivered a verdict on the Sunni Ittehad Council petition related to reserved seats .
The decision was taken after a series of meetings presided over by Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja. The ECP chief advised its legal team to take into account the imperative to act on the apex court's decision. Going against the grain of its previous decisions regarding the PTI in the run-up to Feb 8 election, the apex court overturned the Peshawar High Court's verdict of depriving the PTI of the reserved seats of non-Muslim and women candidates in assemblies.
The apex court, in its majority 8-5 decision, announced that the conduct of the Election Commission of Pakistan regarding the reserved seats was 'unconstitutional', adding that the PTI would remain intact as a political party even without being assigned an election symbol. Justices Athar Minallah, Mansoor Ali Shah, Muneeb Akhtar, Ayesha Malik, Irfan Saadat, Shahid Waheed, Hassan Azhar Rizvi and Ali Mazhar decided in favour of the PTI.
Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa, Justice Jamal Mandokhail, Justice Naeem Afghan and Justice Aminuddin Khan favoured against the PTI. Interim bail requests of Hafiz Farhat and Sheikh Imtiaz rejected in May 9 caseTransient relief for govt as 'friends in need' roll over $12bn debt for one year
