ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Tuesday observed that it intended to determine whether the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) Feb 25 decision to hold fresh by-election in the entire NA-75 Daska constituency was in accordance with its constitutional mandate keeping in view the urgency of the situation that prevailed on polling day.
“The question before the apex court is to determine that the standard of the proof, quantum of evidence and the degree of violation and the law and order situation necessitated re-poll in its entirety,” observed Justice Umar Ata Bandial, who was heading a three-judge SC bench also consisting of Justice Qazi Muhammad Amin Ahmed and Justice Sayyed Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi.
