In a recent episode of "Constituency Couture," the Supreme Court, led by the fashion-forward acting Chief Justice Sardar Tariq Masood, teamed up with Justice Mansoor Ali Shah and Justice Athar Minallah to address the crucial issue of constituency glam-ups just in time for the highly anticipated general elections scheduled for February 8.
The show kicked off with a jaw-dropping ruling – no objections allowed after the election schedule release. It seems the Supreme Court bench has decided to throw out any fashion critiques or makeover suggestions once the election catwalk is set in stone. The contestants? The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and the Balochistan High Court (BHC), who dared to make a few adjustments to their constituencies without asking the judges for fashion advice.
Justice Minallah, looking fabulous in his legal robes, questioned the Balochistan High Court's bold move, asking, "How can a court play the role of a fashion designer when the runway rightfully belongs to the ECP?" The three-member bench then dramatically set aside the provincial high court's order, leaving the BHC's constituency changes out in the cold.
During the hearing, Justice Shah declared, "All challenges to constituencies are so last season once the election schedule is out. We need to draw a line – and maybe a few redistricting lines – to keep things chic and in order."
The acting chief justice, proving he's the fashionista of the courtroom, couldn't fathom why everyone was so obsessed with delaying the elections. "Let the polls take place," he confidently declared, as if urging everyone to embrace the latest political trends.
Justice Minallah, the witty judge of the bunch, added, "If we decide on the ECP's plea, we'll have more petitions than a fashion show has sequins. Once the election schedule is announced, everything comes to a halt – just like a model on a catwalk, frozen in the spotlight."
In a surprising twist, the electoral watchdog's biggest challenge was revealed to be ensuring 'transparency' in elections, as if the political runway needed a bit more clarity and less smoke and mirrors.
Meanwhile, the ECP has been busy backstage, training district returning officers and returning officers, turning them into the supermodels of the election world. According to a commission spokesperson, these officers are currently undergoing a rigorous training regimen supervised by senior ECP officers – because you can't expect a flawless election without a flawless catwalk.
In the grand finale, the Supreme Court suspended the Lahore High Court's decision to suspend the appointment of ROs and DROs from the executive, directing the ECP to release the election schedule immediately. It seems the Supreme Court has declared itself the head judge of this political runway, and they won't let anything – not even a legal wardrobe malfunction – derail the show.
And so, as the country eagerly awaits the grand political fashion show on February 8, citizens can only hope that the Supreme Court's impeccable sense of style will ensure that this season's elections are the most fabulous yet. Get ready for the ultimate democracy strut, Pakistan – it's going to be a showstopper!
