Lahore High Court's (LHC) Justice Khalid Ishaq has fixed April 18 for further proceedings on a plea seeking implementation of the Supreme Court's judgment regarding PTI's reserved seats.
Petitioner Munir Ahmed had filed the petition through advocate Azhar Siddique, requesting the court to direct the concerned quarters to implement the judgment of the superior court.
The counsel argued that despite the clear judgment of the apex court, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has not yet issued any notification regarding reserved seats, which was tantamount to committing contempt of court.
He argued that the electoral watchdog was not implementing the decision as directed under Article 189 of the Constitution, for which Article 204 was already in place and at the same time, the LHC has the jurisdiction in view of Article 187(2) to implement the decision or to enforce it.
