No one man show in pakistan election 2013


The former military strongman’s pervez musharraf nomination papers were also rejected on Tuesday from NA-32 Chitral, after being earlier disqualified from three other constituencies.Musharraf’s lawyer Muhammad Saad Shibli said they would contest the decision in the High Court.An election tribunal in Peshawar comprising Justice Fasiul Mulk, Justice Mrs Irshad Qaiser and Justice Mazhar Alam Advocate, after a lengthy debate on the objections raised against acceptance of Musharraf’s nomination papers by the returning officer in Chitral, barred the former president from contesting general elections.Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) candidate Abdul latif, Jamaat-i-Islami candidate Abdul Akbar Chitrali along with three voters, Sajjadullah, Alamzeb and Khalilur Rehman had filed the objections.Earlier in the day, an election tribunal had decided against an appeal filed by Musharraf challenging the returning officer’s rejection of his nomination papers for NA-48 (Islamabad-I).The returning officer had rejected Musharraf’s nomination after objections were raised on it saying the retired general had subverted the Constitution as army chief and had illegally placed judges under house arrest.Musharraf’s appeal for NA-139 (Kasur-II) was also rejected by an election tribunal in Lahore. The tribunal said the former president had abrogated the Constitution thrice and thus did not qualify to contest in the coming general election.

reject karachi police report about no go area




During Thursday’s hearing of the Karachi law and order case, the Supreme Court rejected police reports regarding ‘no-go areas in Karachi’ saying they were identical in content.The bench observed that it appeared that the reports were authored by one person and ordered reports from all 112 police stations in the city to be submitted within 30 minutes’ time.A five-judge larger bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, was hearing the case pertaining to implementation of its 2011 order in a suo motu notice over unrest in Karachi.During the previous hearing, top law enforcement officials who had failed to control criminal activities in the city were severely reprimanded.The officials had admitted before the apex court bench that their men lacked the ‘will’ to combat the growing number of militants and gangsters in the city. This was on account of sluggish follow-up of cases of their colleagues who had been killed by criminals.The Supreme Court has been hearing the matter pertaining to the implementation of its 2011 verdict in the suo motu notice taken on Karachi’s worsening law and order situation.
