In Sahibzada Hamid Raza’s petition, LHC has already issued notices for March 13 to Election Commission of Pakistan, Attorney General and Advocate General of Punjab and other stakeholders.
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) last Tuesday notified the allocation of reserved seats for women and minorities, which were claimed by PTI-backed Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC), to other political parties.
The move came a day after the electoral watchdog rejected the Sunni Ittehad Council’s (SIC) petition, seeking the allocation of reserved seats following a ‘merger’ with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for this specific purpose.
The ECP was requested to allot the seats on the basis of the inclusion of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-backed candidates in their party.
