KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Tuesday took up a petition seeking lifetime disqualification of Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah as member of the Sindh Assembly.
As a two-judge bench of the Sindh High Court (SHC) resumed hearing the case, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) furnished its reply to the petition in pursuance of a court notice.
The commission said in its reply that a similar case is pending in the Supreme Court (SC), suggesting that the high court should wait for the top court’s decision.
Adjourning the matter until June 22, the bench directed the petitioner to file a rejoinder to the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) response.
