The PML-N Senior Vice President, Maryam Nawaz, on Tuesday raised questions over Supreme Court’s March 1 verdict on a suo motu case about the elections in Punjab and KP, asking why the apex court’s “4-3 verdict was changed to 3-2”.
In a tweet from her official handle, the ruling party leader apparently referred to the SC hearing of a petition filed by the PTI against the ECP’s decision to delay elections in Punjab till October 8.
“Before deciding about the election, it will have to be decided why 4/3 [verdict] was changed to 3/2? What were the motives behind it and who was involved?” the PML-N leader questioned.
The two judges aimed to “revisit the power of the one-man show enjoyed by the office of the Chief Justice of Pakistan” in order to “strengthen” the institution and “ensure public trust and confidence” in the apex court.
Referring to the dissenting note of the apex court judges, Maryam further said that no decision by the apex court would by accepted forcefully before clearing the ambiguity surrounding the apex court’s March 1 verdict on Punjab and K-P polls.
