2205/2013 Const. P. Abdul Razzak (Petitioner) V/S Election Commissiner of pakistan & Ors (Respondent)
Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Chief Justice Mr. Justice Faisal Arab, Hon'ble Chief Justice Mr. Justice Muhammad Shafi Siddiqui(Author)
Order Date: 28-MAY-13
Jamate-Islami, under whose banner the petitioner has participated and contested the election, has boycotted the election and such fact via speech was covered by electronic media when the leaders of the said political party expressed their views. In the light of such boycott as the petitioner was contesting as a candidate for Jamat-e-Islami he cannot said to be an aggrieved person. It is a well-known matter of common knowledge that the election laws; being an Act of Parliament, already existed in the Country that contained provisions about the existence of Election Tribunal and, above all, the detailed provisions about the manner in which such petitions are to be filed. The manner and details thereof are quite different from and stringent than normal pleadings in a civil matter. Viewed in this background, Article 225 of the Constitution, double phrased with negative phraseology and in unambiguous terms, ousts the jurisdiction of any forum other than the Election Tribunal, which too, can be so resorted to only in the manner prescribed by the law.Full judgment text for this case is not yet available on Pakistan Law Reports.
