We have to protect the public mandate, the real issue is the public mandate, can the constitutional principle of allotment of reserved seats be overruled by a technical rule, if a political party does not submit a list for reserved seats, the constitution can be ignored Justice Mansoor said that no political party is relevant to us, the important thing is whether the political party is represented in parliament or not.
This question is important that the allocated seats can be redistributed, can the 23 reserved seats be redistributed, is it in the constitution and the law? If the allocated seats cannot be redistributed, will they remain empty?
Justice Athar said that a political party can have as many reserved seats as the share of seats won, a major political party was deprived of an electoral symbol, where is it written in the law that it does not get an electoral symbol? a political party cannot contest elections?

The PTI women and the lawyers present in the court laughed at this.
The lawyer of the Electoral Commission replied that the participants in the courtroom continued to laugh, but this is what the constitution says, if an independent candidate does not join a political party, the seats will be distributed among other parties. The decisions of the Electoral Commission and the High Court to give seats to others than the Sunni Ittehad Council have been postponed.
