ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court has ruled that by dissolving the local government institutions, the Punjab government had disenfranchised the people who voted for their representatives.
The dissolution of the local government system in Punjab has directly come into conflict with Article 17 of the Constitution, read with Articles 140A, 7 and 32, explained a detailed judgement authored by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Gulzar Ahmed and released on Monday.
On March 25 this year, a three-judge Supreme Court bench, through a short order, had ordered restoration of local bodies in the province after declaring their dissolution as unconstitutional.

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) Monday ruled that the local governments’ offices in Punjab were political governments and had fundamental right, as provided in the Constitution, to run for their duration, as provided by the law.
The court held that the province had no power to cancel local governments (LGs), created under Article 140A of the Constitution. A three-member bench of the apex court, headed by Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed, and comprising Justice Ijazul Ahsen and Justice Syed Mazahir Ali Akbar Naqvi, announced a detailed judgment in the petitions challenging the Punjab Local Bodies Act 2019.
The court, on March 25, had restored the local government system in Punjab and declared Section 3 of the Punjab Local Bodies Act 2019 as ultra vires to the Constitution. The Punjab Local Government Act 2019 was passed by the provincial legislature in May, 2019.

The extension means Mani will continue as the PCB chairman, subject to the due formality of re-election by August this year. Mani was previously elected unopposed in 2018 for a term of three years. Mani met Imran at the Prime Minister’s house on June 21, where Imran extended his support for Mani to carry on with the role.

While all nine existing board members are eligible to contest the elections, historically only one of the two individuals directly nominated by the Prime Minister has become the PCB chairman. Mani
