  • CJP takes suo motu notice over delay in K-P, Punjab elections | The Express Tribune

    The Supreme Court of Pakistan has constituted a nine-member larger bench, led by Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial, to hear a suo motu matter regarding the announcement of date to hold elections for Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa assemblies. This follows a petition filed by Ghulam Mehmood Dogar and a division bench\’s warning that there was an eminent danger of violation of the Constitution. The bench will consider three questions, if deemed appropriate: who has the constitutional responsibility and authority for appointing the date for the holding of a general election to a provincial assembly, upon its dissolution in the various situations envisaged by and under the Constitution; how and when is this constitutional responsibility to be discharged; and what are the constitutional responsibilities and duties of the federation and the province with regard to the holding of the general election. With the Supreme Court taking up this important matter, the citizens of Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa have the assurance that the constitutional and legal requirements for holding elections in the two provinces will be fulfilled.
