The Supreme Court on Saturday formed a three-judge bench to hear Dr Tahirul Qadri’s petition seeking reconstitution of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).


The three-member bench comprising Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, Justice Gulzar Ahmad and Justice Sheikh Azmat Saeed will take up the petition on February 11.
