Supreme Court to consider petition on February 8 polls

A three-member bench led by Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa, accompanied by Justices Muhammad Ali Mazhar and Musarrat Hilali, is scheduled to conduct the hearing on February 19. The petition, filed by Brig Ali Khan, raises concerns regarding alleged pre-poll rigging and delays in announcing election results, which are seen as undermining democratic principles. Khan urges the Supreme Court to halt the government formation process post-February 8 elections and instead order a fresh election under its supervision.
The upcoming hearing is expected to delve into these contentious issues, deliberating on the validity of the February 8 elections and determining the appropriate course of action to safeguard democratic integrity. The outcome of this hearing holds significant implications for the political landscape and the electoral process. As the Supreme Court convenes to address the petition, all attention is focused on its deliberations and the potential ramifications for the legal and political realms.
