Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar on Thursday rejected pleas seeking correction of discrepancies in d
elimitatio
n of constituencies.
The CJP remarked that if the d
elimitatio
n of constituencies is changed at this time, it will impact the election schedule across the country. He told
the petitioners that the d
elimitation carried out by the Election Commission of Pakistan was final and candidates would have to contest elections accordingly.
The chief justice disposed of
the petitions along with nine others seeking fresh d
elimitation in various constituencies. He stated that he would personally hear all petitions regarding d
elimitation and would
not allow the election schedule to be affected.
