IHC CJ Aamer Farooq opposes ECP’s grounds for changing election tribunal

Showing his annoyance over the Election Commission of Pakistan’s decision to change the election tribunal hearing the appeals filed by rival candidates of PML-N MNAs from Islamabad, Chief Justice of the Islamabad High Court Justice Aamer Farooq on Tuesday questioned the grounds on which the ECP had based its decision, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

“Do you want to introduce a new jurisprudence?” Justice Farooq asked, adding, “Even if we admit that there are flaws in the tribunal’s order, still there is no justification for setting up a new one.”He remarked that prima facie the commission’s decision was flawed. “Either prove there was an element of bias or get ready to face contempt of court proceedings,” the CJ said, and added, “Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri is an IHC judge.

The chief justice said the election commission had made Justice Jahangiri the tribunal head on his recommendation.
