ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Thursday directed the authorities to stop holding by-elections on the existing voters’ lists, FTNews reported.
Hearing a plea regarding inaccurate voters’ lists, the chief justice directed the authorities to hold by-elections only on verified lists.
The court, for providing constitutional shelter to previous by-elections, gave further time to the government and directed it to not hold by-elections on unverified lists.
The court ordered the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to make fair elections possible and to hold them on verified and authentic voters’ lists.
The hearing was adjourned to Feb 6.
