Complaint filed against CEC in Supreme Judicial CouncilBreaking

July 20, 2024

A complaint has been filed in the Supreme Judicial Council against Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja and other members. The complaint was jointly filed by Haleem Adil Sheikh, Justice (Retd) Noorul Haq Qureshi, and Shabbir Ahmed. The complaint alleges that the Chief Election Commissioner and members failed to fulfill their constitutional responsibilities and attempted to undermine PTI's mandate and judicial decisions. The complainants accuse the Chief Election Commissioner and members of misconduct, alleging that they politically appointed bureaucrats as Returning Officers (ROs) and District Returning Officers (DROs). 

 They claim that former Rawalpindi Commissioner Liaquat Chatta revealed that 70,000 votes were fraudulently cast for PML-N in each constituency in Rawalpindi, implicating the Chief Election Commissioner and Chief Justice in the process. The complaint further asserts that the Election Commission deprived PTI of its election symbol and its nominated members of their party affiliation, affecting over 120 million voters. The complainants have requested an inquiry into the allegations and recommended the removal of the Chief Election Commissioner and members if the charges are proven.
