The Lahore High Court (LHC) has issued a verdict to halt the bye-elections in two constituencies of Punjab, namely National Assembly NA-108 and NA-118. The elections, which were scheduled to take place on May 28, have been stopped based on the petitions filed by Farrukh Habib and Ijaz Shah.
The Lahore High Court (LHC) made the decision after considering the petitions submitted by Farrukh Habib and Ijaz Shah. The assembly’s term was set to last for 90 days.
Justice Munib Akhtar of the Supreme Court emphasized the importance of holding elections within the stipulated 90-day period, as the rights of millions of people in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were directly associated with the electoral process.
The Election Commission of Pakistan had previously filed a petition with the Supreme Court, requesting a reconsideration of the court’s April 4 order to hold elections in the Punjab Assembly on May 14. A panel consisting of three judges heard the case.
