A critical examination of the SC's ruling on reserved seats, impacting political dynamics and the roles of SIC and ECP
Justice Mandokhel wonders how party not contesting polls could be given reserved seats: CJP says independent candidates committed 'suicide' by not joining PTI: Will not listen to complaint that ECP did injustice to PTI: Adds PTI was not interested in holding intra-party pollsA 13-member full-court bench of the Supreme Court , headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Qazi Faez Isa, is hearing the Sunni Ittehad Council’s reserved seats’ case, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Monday.
During the hearing of Sunni Ittehad Council’s appeal against the Election Commission of Pakistan and Peshawar High Court’s verdicts in the reserved seats case, the party’s lawyer Faisal Siddiqui gave references of article 51 and article 106 of the constitution. Justice Mandokhel said that the legislators getting elected as independent candidates could join any party that had contested the general elections. “The reason why MNAs of a party are in the assembly is because their party has contested the elections,” the judge said, adding, “How come a party that did not contest the elections could be given reserved seats.”
Justice Minallah commented that once a political party loses its election symbol, it ceases to be a political party. Siddiqui said that reserved seats would be given to a party under the principle of proportional representation. “Every party gets these seats after the inclusion of independents in it,” he said.
It is beyond comprehension,” Justice Minallah said. “PTI-backed independent candidates by not joining the PTI after winning their seats committed suicide,” the CJP opined, adding, “Had these candidates remained in the PTI, there would have been no issue today.”The CJP said he would not listen to the complaint that the ECP had done an injustice to the PTI. “We will follow the law and the constitution.
