ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) plea seeking review of the apex court's verdict on holding Punjab Assembly elections on May 14.
"The court will intervene whenever there is a Constitutional violation," Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial remarked during the hearing of the case.
A three-member bench, headed by CJP Umar Ata Bandial, Justice Ijaz Ul Ahsan and Justice Munib Akhtar, observed that the top election organising body did not have Constitutional right to extend the poll date.
During the hearing, the ECP's counsel Sajeel Swati maintained that they had received the detailed order regarding the Punjab polls two weeks ago therefore they wanted to submit some additional documents in the light of this verdict.
He requested the court to give him a week time to prepare his arguments.
To which, Justice Akhtar remarked that the matter before the bench was a review petition and a verdict on the election delay case had already been announced.
