Fawad challenges show-cause notice issued to him by ECP
Pakistan
Electoral watchdog's show-cause notice was unlawful and a misuse of its authority, claims petitioner
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry on Monday challenged a show-cause notice issued to him by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
Faisal Farid, the brother of Mr Chaudhry, submitted a petition to the Islamabad High Court on his brother's behalf. The appeal asked for the notices issued to the former federal minister from January 27 and June 13 to be ruled "invalid and power-excessive".
The petitioner claimed, "I was detained in connection with a case brought by the ECP secretary. A show-cause notice was issued in response to these allegations".
"The electoral watchdog's show-cause notice was unlawful and a misuse of its authority," added the petitioner.
