The members of ECP, high officials and legal team also attended the meeting.
According to sources, it has been decided to continue the consultation process with the legal experts.
It merits mention here that the ECP couldn’t take any decision regarding the reserved seats during last several meetings.

The apex court issued its detailed judgement on the reserved seats. The verdict comprises 70 pages and is written by Justice Mansoor Ali Shah.
On Sept 14, an eight-member bench of the apex court disposed of the ECP's petition, stating that its request for clarification was merely a "delaying tactic".
In the detailed judgement, the apex court ruled that the PTI was a political party which contested the Feb 8 elections and won seats in the National and provincial assemblies. The reserved seats should be given to the PTI, the court ruled.
"The PTI is entitled to reserved seats in the National Assembly," the apex court ruled and ordered the ECP to notify PTI winning candidates.
