ResultN/A

After arguments at some length, the following questions are emerged:- 1) Whether it was not the essential duty of Election Commission to provide the detailed particulars of proposer , seconder and the candidate including the number of constituency . Apparently , the receipt/certificate issued by the Election Commission is silent about the number of constituency and on the basis of this deficient information provided by the Election Commission, the petitioner/candidate could be considered at fault entailing rejection of his nomination papers?

2) Whether the Election Commission though has completed the delimitation process on 03.05.2018 but had it provided the information to the public at large through all the sources as required by law?

2. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of Election Commission is directed to ensure filing of written reply on behalf of respondents so as to reach this Court on or before next date of hearing. Director Law and Head of Provincial Election Commissioner shall appear in person alongwith record of this case on 28.06.2018.
