Supreme Court is acting like a political party seeking political power rather than a non-political entity to be an arbiter between various political parties. Some political parties, although their members voted for it, disagreed with that law and approached Supreme Court. Supreme Court could have rejected these speculations by issuing instructions to ECP that a party whose head is disqualified should be given a chance to resubmit their tickets signed by new party head. The Supreme Court verdict remains silent on asking ECP to ensure all party heads are elected in compliance with their party constitution. That decision of ECP will be taken to the Supreme Court to seek protection of party members’ rights.
