Karachi: The Supreme Court of Pakistan in its verdict over bogus voters list in Karachi, has directed the country’s Election Commission (EC) to verify voters in the city by conducting a door-to-door check with the help of the army and the frontier constabulary.
A three-member bench of the apex court headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry had reserved its verdict on November 28 over the petitions pertaining to the issue filed by the PTI, JI and PML-N.
Justice Azmat Saeed, the member of the bench, read the verdict comprising 24 pages on Tuesday.
In the verdict, the apex court said that it was necessary to correct the list in the city. The bench also directed the EC to seek the army and the FC’s help during door-to-door verification process.
During proceedings of the case, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had submitted the report on the voter lists in Karachi. The ECP Sindh informed the court that 32,231 voters could not be verified. The lawyer for JI Rasheed A Rizvi said there was a house with 653 registered voters in the city.
