ISLAMABAD: Sindh High Court Bar Association (SHCBA) president Salahuddin Ahmed on Wednesday accused the government of approaching the Supreme Court to get endorsement of its political designs and not to seek advice on open ballot for coming Senate elections.
“This is not permissible and this is a kind of reference where the answer of the Supreme Court should be that it respectfully declines to answer,” Mr Ahmed told the five-judge bench hearing the presidential reference on open ballot for Senate elections.
The apex court is likely to conclude the hearing on the presidential reference on Thursday (today) when it may also pronounce its determination on the presidential reference.
