The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday directed the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to file a reply over refusing a notification for reserved seats which got vacated after the latter de-seated them for voting in favour of Shehbaz Sharif during chief minister Punjab’s election.

The court headed by Justice Shujaat Ali Khan directed the ECP to file a reply within 10 days after a lawyer representing the government also sought time for submitting a response.

It is pertinent to mention here that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) filed a petition in Lahore High Court (LHC) against the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) ruling which stayed the notification of new MPAs on Punjab reserved seats.

The Election Commission of Pakistan had stayed the notification of new MPAs on five seats of the Punjab Assembly till the by-elections.
