In 2018, local body representatives were also suspended for elections (Photo: File).
The Peshawar High Court nullified the Election Commission’s declaration by restoring local body representatives in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab.
A writ was filed in the Peshawar High Court against the Election Commission’s declaration to suspend local government representatives.
The Deputy Attorney General told the court that the Election Commission has the powers to suspend local government representatives for transparent elections, this is not the first time they have suspended local government representatives for elections in 2018 as well.
On which Justice Roohul Amin said that they will be suspended many times, were the provincial assemblies suspended during these municipal elections or only the municipal representatives will be suspended?
The Fazil Bench issued orders to restore local body representatives in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab declaring the Election Commission’s declaration null and void.
