Election Act amendment cannot override reserved seats ruling: SC

In another clarification, the Supreme Court has reiterated that amendments to the Election Act cannot nullify its July 12 ruling on the reserved seats case. A majority of eight judges issued the clarification. The Supreme Court initially ruled on July 12 that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) was eligible for reserved seats, contradicting the Election Commission’s March 1 decision.
