Lahore High Court Chief Justice Aaliya Neelum rejected the request of the Chief Election Commissioner seeking the reformation of the election tribunals in the province.
Chief Election Commissioner Sultan Akram Raja met the LHC chief justice and requested her to reconstitute the existing election tribunals, the sources said.
Justice Aaliya Neelum turned down the CEC’s request, maintaining that the present election tribunals will continue to function as usual.
The LHC chief justice said that the final decision on the election tribunals will be made by the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
Earlier on June 20, the Supreme Court rejected an appeal moved by the Election Commission of Pakistan against formation of election tribunals by the Lahore High Court.
