KARACHI: According to legal experts, NA Speaker Ayaz Sadiq’s letter is an attempt to defend the ECP’s disregard for the ruling made by the Supreme Court. Nevertheless, they issue a warning that disobeying the court’s orders may result in accusations of contempt. Additionally, they draw attention to the fact that the Supreme Court’s rulings are binding on the ECP and that the NA speaker lacks the legal authority to command the ECP to operate in a different way.
The Supreme Court’s ruling on reserved seats “cannot be implemented under the Amended Election Act, 2017,” Speaker of the National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq wrote to the Pakistani Election Commission on Thursday.
