LAHORE: Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) has challenged in Lahore High Court (LHC) the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) move for not giving them reserved seats.
Chairman SIC Sahibzada Hamid Raza has challenged the ECP decision not giving them reserved seats in Punjab in LHC. Sahibzada Hamid Raza has filed petition through advocate Ishtiaq A Khan.
ECP and all others have been made respondents in the petition. The petitioner said in his plea that ECP is neither a tribunal nor a court. The reserved seats should be given to SIC in proportion to seats in the assembly.
It was also said in the context of the petition that it makes no difference if SIC has contested election or otherwise. ECP act is tantamount to make amendment to the constitution. ECP decision is tantamou
nt to transgressing its powers. The court should declare section 104 rule 94 of election act as against the constitution.
