ISLAMABAD - Pakistan Bar Council (PBC) and the Supreme Court Bar Associa­tion (SCBA) Tuesday urged the Supreme Court to take notice of discrepancies in delimitation of the constituencies instead of endorsing every act of the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC). It added that despite its lower population com­pared to Gujranwala Division, an additional seat has been allo­cated, raising questions about the transparency of the electoral process. It maintained that in light of these circumstances, the PBC cannot turn a blind eye to these critical matters. They stress that the Supreme Court of Pakistan, as the highest Constitution­al Court, must take notice of these discrepancies instead of en­dorsing every act of the CECP. It continued that the PBC remains committed to upholding democratic principles and fostering transparency in the electoral process for the benefit of all citizens.
