ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial on Tuesday said that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) should conduct delimitations of constituencies in a transparent manner.<\/p>\n

The remarks of CJP Bandial came whilst heading a two-member bench, which was hearing petitions against delimitations of provincial constituencies PS 7, 8, and 9 Shikarpur, which were challenged in the apex court in 2018.<\/p>\n

During the hearing, CJP Bandial remarked that the delimitations of constituencies were a matter of public interest and that it had been brought up in the top court several times.<\/p>\n

\u201cElection commission should conduct delimitations in a transparent manner,\u201d the top judge said asserting that if the tapedar modifies the circle even slightly, it can affect the votes a candidate receives.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, CJP Bandial inquired when were the general elections being held. To this, the Director General (Law) Muhammad Arshad shrugged his shoulders.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs yet, no date for the elections has been decided. The election commission should resolve all issues before the polls,\u201d the CJP said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis matter is more sensitive in Sindh. Grievances often come forth that delimitations in the province were not correct,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

After hearing the arguments, the SC referred the matter back to the electoral body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
