ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Friday told the Supreme Court that holding decisions in an electorate costs about Rs19 million, yet Justice Umar Ata Bandial scrutinized the appraisal and said even a competitor needs to spend a greater sum on soliciting and crusading.
“It happened during one of the cases the court heard before that around Rs240m was brought about on the lead of races in a single supporters,” he noticed.
Equity Bandial mentioned the objective fact while heading a three-judge Supreme Court seat (additionally containing Justice Sajjad Ali Shah and Justice Muneeb Akhtar) that was hearing an allure moved by the Pakistan Tehreek-I-Insaf’s up-and-comer Ali Asjad Malhi testing the ECP’s structure for re-surveying in the whole NA-75, Sialkot (Daska tehsil) voting demographic.
On Feb 25, the ECP had administered re-surveying would be led in the whole NA-75 electorate after doubts arose that outcomes may have been ‘modified’ during the last by-political decision there. The choice was given on an application documented by the Pakistan Muslim League-N competitor Syeda Nosheen Iftikhar.
