ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday sent the matters pertaining to the delimitation in various constituencies in the country to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
Chief Justice Aamer Farooq heard the case filed by lawyer Ahsan Bhoon regarding the delimitation in Hafizabad.
At the outset of the hearing, the ECP’s lawyer argued that he was in court in another case, adding that the department had not received court notice in this case.
The chief justice inquired when the electoral watchdog was going to announce the schedule for polls. He said that several people have challenged the delimitation before the court.
The court said that these were just minor issues that should be addressed by the ECP as early as possible.
Ahsan Bhoon said that there was no constituency in the country where the population was more than 1.3 million. He said that the total population of Hafizabad was 1.319 million, but there was only one constituency.
