Summary: S.302,84 PPCOverwhelming evidence,testimony of related witnesses(Appeal dismissed)

Summary: ''The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) under Article 218(3) of the Constitution is charged with the duty to ensure free, fair and just elections in the country. ECP, under Article 219 of the Constitution, is also commanded to revise the electoral list annually. The electoral rolls of Karachi do not inspire confidence. An accurate Electoral Roll is a sine quo non for the holding of a free, fair and transparent election. Thus, ECP is directed to carry out proper and complete door-to-door verification in Karachi so as to ensure that no voter is disenfranchised or dislocated and all other discrepancies are rectified as early as possible.'' --- The statement highlights concerns regarding discrepancies in the Electoral Roll of Karachi, emphasizing the importance of a reliable voter list for free and fair elections. The petitioner's examples, coupled with the Election Commission's admission of not conducting a comprehensive door-to-door verification, lead to the conclusion that the Electoral Rolls of Karachi lack credibility. The court references a previous case, stressing the significance of accurate electoral lists for democratic strengthening.The court notes that Article 219 of the Constitution mandates annual revision of Electoral Rolls, as communicated by the Election Commission. However, delays in the process are acknowledged, with a significant number of unverified voters reported. The court directs the Election Commission to conduct a thorough door-to-door verification in Karachi with the assistance of the Army and Frontier Corps, emphasizing the importance of preventing disenfranchisement.The term "annual" is scrutinized, and the court quotes various dictionaries and legal precedents to support the argument that it should be interpreted broadly, potentially allowing for revisions during the year. The judgment underscores the duty of the Election Commission, as outlined in Article 218, to ensure free, fair, and transparent elections, and it calls for collaboration with executive authorities to achieve this goal.The court concludes by highlighting the fundamental right of citizens to vote and directs the Election Commission to revise the Electoral Rolls in Karachi promptly, addressing discrepancies and ensuring the involvement of security forces due to the city's security situation. Two Constitution Petitions are disposed of accordingly, while another is adjourned to a later date.
