2533/2026 Const. P. Syed Javed Iqbal & Another (Petitioner) V/S Meerut Coop. Housing Society & Ors (Respondent)
Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Zulfiqar Ali Sangi
Order Date: 29-APR-26
In view of the above, this Court is of the considered view that the impugned order dated 19.04.2026 is unsustainable in law, being based on misinterpretation of Section 24 of the Act, 2020. The Election Officer exceeded his jurisdiction by reopening a settled issue of membership. However, the best course for the election officer was to refer the matter to the Court for determination. The order suffers from violation of principles of natural justice; and the reasoning advanced by the Election Officer is legally flawed and cannot be upheld. 16. Consequently, the impugned order is set aside, and the stance taken by the petitioner is upheld to the extent that his removal from the membership list and consequent disenfranchisement cannot be sustained in law. The respondents are directed to restore his status in accordance with law and proceed with the electoral process strictly in compliance with statutory provisions and principles of fairness, transparency, and due process. The petition along with pending application(s) stand disposed of in the above terms.Full judgment text for this case is not yet available on Pakistan Law Reports.
