Islamabad: In a pivotal ruling today, the Supreme Court of Pakistan overturned a previous decision by the Lahore High Court, reinstating the electoral victories of three Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) candidates in the National Assembly.
According to Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the decision was made by a three-member bench of the apex court, led by Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa, with a majority of 2-1. This ruling reaffirms the electoral outcomes for the three PML-N members, positioning them to resume their duties as duly elected representatives in the National Assembly.
The specifics of the Lahore High Court’s earlier ruling that had disqualified the members were not disclosed in the announcement. This Supreme Court decision underscores a significant development in Pakistan’s legal and political landscape, with potential implications for the stability and composition of the current government.
