Description

As the Supreme Court resumed the hearing of PTI symbol case on Saturday, Barrister Ali Zafar – the counsel for petitioner – argued that the neither the Constitution nor the Election Act allowed the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to evaluate the intraparty polls.

The arguments came as Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar observed that there are two points in question: firstly, whether the court [Peshawar High Court] has the jurisdiction to intervene and overturn the ECP decision, and, secondly, whether the ECP enjoyed the authority to examine the intraparty elections.

Earlier on Friday, Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa asserted that the PTI would face repercussions if discrepancies were found in its intraparty polls. He emphasised that the ECP was a constitutional institution and the court should not intervene in its matters.

And on Saturday, the chief remarked that the basic question was of democracy, not the implementation on party constitution. Democracy should be in political parties too, not just in the country, he added.
