Petition filed for a stay against NA Speaker, Dy. Speaker elections

ISLAMABAD: A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court here praying for the issuance of a stay order against the elections of the National Assembly Speaker and the Deputy speaker. Shahid Orakzai filing the petition under the Article 184 (3) of the constitution made Muslim League-N and the People’s party respondents and took the plea that the two parties, by announcing the next Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the upcoming National Assembly in the Murree Declaration, have infringed upon the rights of the elected members of the other parties and, therefore, prayed for the issuance of an injunction order for withholding the elections of the Speaker and Deputy Speaker. Supreme Court Registrar office on contact told that his office hasn’t thus far received any such petition. Earlier, Supreme Court had banned Shahid Orakzai’s entry in its premises for filing such petitions in the past.
