Petitioner: Ch. MUHAMMAD HUSSAIN VS Respondent: THIRD ADDITIONAL DISTRICT AND SESSIONS JUDGE And Other
Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Saad Saood Jan, Syed Usman Ali Shah Title:Ch. MUHAMMAD HUSSAIN vs THIRD ADDITIONAL DISTRICT AND SESSIONS
JUDGE And Other Case No.: Civil Petition No.899 of 1989 Petition No.2138 of 1989 Date of Judgment:1989-09-23 Reported As: 1991 SCMR 1861 Result: Petition dismissed Judgment ORDER SAAD SAOOD JAN, J.---The petitioner was a candidate from electoral Unit No. 40 in the election to the Municipal Corporation, Faisalabad. He lost the election whereupon he filed an election petition. His petition was dismissed on a technical ground. He filed a Constitution petition in the High Court but that too failed. He then filed another application before the Election Tribunal seeking recount. This too was dismissed. He again moved the High Court in the Constitution jurisdiction but without any success. He now seeks leave to appeal from this Court. 2. Thus petition is clearly misconceived. After the learned Election Tribunal had dismissed his election petition, it was left with no jurisdiction to order a recount of the ballot-papers. This petition is without any merit and is hereby dismissed.
