Govt moves SC over Senate polls mode
Files reference seeking interpretation of Article 226
ISLAMABAD:
The PTI led federal government has filed a presidential reference to the Supreme Court, seeking guidance about holding the upcoming Senate polls through open ballot rather than secret ballot.
Attorney General for Pakistan (AGP) Khalid Javed Khan filed the reference on Wednesday under Article 186 of Constitution, invoking the court’s advisory jurisdiction.
The reference seeks interpretation of Article 226 which says all elections under the Constitution other than those of the prime minister and chief ministers shall be held through secret ballot.
It says interpretation of the Constitution and law is the exclusive domain of the judiciary with the Supreme Court as the final court.
