ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court on Wednesday issued a notice to the Election Commission of Pakistan on a petition filed by Majlis Wahdat-i-Muslimeen (MWM) seeking a directive for the ECP to upload Forms 45 and 47 on its website.
IHC Justice Aamer Farooq heard the petition.
Advocate Imaan Zainab Mazari, appearing on behalf of the MWM, argued before the court that the ECP was under obligation to upload these forms as well as other documents related to constituency-wise election on its website in 14 days under the Elections Act.
She said the ECP had failed to comply with the statutory provision of uploading the Form 45 and Form 47 on its website.
She pointed out that the ECP uploaded these forms on its website for a while, but removed them later.
She requested the court to order the ECP to upload these forms on its website.
Justice Farooq also clubbed an identical petition filed by PTI leader Shoaib Shaheen and issued the notice to the ECP and adjourned the hearing till next week.
