ISLAMABAD, Nov 03 (Online): Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa has remarked general election will take place on February 08 by the grace of Almighty Allah.<\/p>\n
He gave these remarks while presiding over 3-member bench of Supreme Court (SC) during the hearing of multiple pleas seeking timely elections within 90 days of the dissolution of the assemblies.<\/p>\n
The document signed by President Arif Alvi on holding polls within 90 days in the country was presented in the SC. <\/p>\n
A reply duly signed by officer of grade-22 from President House was filed in the court. President assented to February 8, 2024 for holding general election.<\/p>\n
Election Commission (EC) presented the notification on holding election on February 08 in the SC\u06d4<\/p>\n
The court disposed of all the petitions with the order of the court.
\nThe court issued written order for wrapping up petitions seeking holding election within 90 days. <\/p>\n
It has been said in written order one Prime Minister (PM) was removed through vote of no confidence in the near past. Vote of no confidence led the country to political crisis. SC took suo motu notice on political matter. President dissolved National Assembly (NA) after no confidence motion. It was unconstitutional process. President cannot dissolve assembly on the advice of PM after no confidence motion. Dissolving assembly unconstitutionally falls under high treason. <\/p>\n
SC remarked president had no authority to dissolve assembly surprisingly. But he exercised authority.<\/p>\n
On the other hand the power of giving date which rested with the president was not exercised. <\/p>\n
The court remarked the people cannot be kept from elected representatives. The constitutional institutions can take important decisions only in the interest of people. <\/p>\n
In the court order it was said the date for election was agreed upon after November 2, 2023 meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
