ISLAMABAD: The counsel for Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani on Wednesday informed the Islamabad High Court that since the election to the top slot of the upper house was a part of parliament’s proceedings, it is not subject to judicial scrutiny.
Senator Syed Ali Zafar was arguing before a two-member bench of the IHC, headed by Justice Aamer Farooq, on a petition filed by former prime minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani against the rejection of seven votes cast in his favour in the election.
Mr Sanjrani won the election after the presiding officer ruled that the seven votes were not valid since these were not stamped in a proper manner.
