ISLAMABAD:
The Supreme Court on Friday rejected the PTI’s appeal against the directives of the Election Commission of Pakistan for re-polling in the constituency of NA-75 Sialkot-IV (Daska) and maintained the polling body s decision.
The ECP had earlier annulled the by-poll held in the constituency on February 19 and ordered a fresh election on March 18.
It was later rescheduled to take place on April 10.
A three-member apex bench, headed by Justice Umar Ata Bandial, dismissed PTI candidate Ali Asjad Malhi s petition and announced the short order after hearing arguments by all sides.
