Islamabad (Web Desk): The Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday sent the matter of delimitations of provincial constituencies in Sindh to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
A two-member bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial heard the case regarding the delimitation of three constituencies S-7, S-8 and S-9 Shakarpur.
During the course of proceedings, the CJP remarked that it was a matter of public interest, which had been raised before the top court several times.
The ECP should ensure delimitation in a transparent way as it could affect the volume of votes to the candidates, he observed, adding there was more sensitivity in the regard in the province of Sindh.
CJP Bandial inquired when were the general elections being held. To this, the Director General (Law) Muhammad Arshad shrugged his shoulders.
“As yet, no date for the elections has been decided, he remarked.
The top court directed the ECP to resolve all such matters before the general elections and sent the matter back to the electoral body.
