The court has granted permission to Sanam Javed. She is an incarcerated activist and a PTI candidate. This allows her to contest the upcoming general elections. The Supreme Court of Pakistan has recently made a significant decision that has stirred the political landscape of the country. In a significant development, the court has granted permission to Sanam Javed. She is an incarcerated activist and a candidate from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). This permission allows her to participate as a contestant in the upcoming general elections.
A Landmark Decision By Supreme Court
On Friday, January 26, 2024, the Supreme Court made a crucial decision. It overturned the Lahore High Court (LHC) and the election tribunal’s rulings. These decisions, which had initially rejected the nomination papers of Sanam Javed and other PTI candidates, were overturned by the Supreme Court. This decision has allowed her to contest the elections from NA-119, NA-120, and PP-125.
The Legal Battle
The legal battle leading up to this decision was not without its share of controversies. Initially, her nomination papers faced rejection by the returning officers (ROs). This was attributed to discrepancies related to the date of her affidavit and the allocation of a joint bank account for election expenses.
After hearing the appeal, the Supreme Court took decisive action. It set aside the Lahore High Court’s decision and declared her nomination papers as accepted.
The Road Ahead For Sanam Javed
The Supreme Court’s decision is clear: the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) must publish and print the names of approved PTI candidates. The general elections, scheduled for February 8, 2024, will now proceed with this directive.
This decision holds great significance in Pakistan’s political history. It grants the opportunity for an incarcerated activist to actively participate in the democratic process. The impact of this ruling on the upcoming elections and her political future is uncertain. It’s a situation that will unfold over time.
