ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court has ordered that local bodies (LB) elections in cantonment boards be held on November 27 or December 07.
The Supreme Court has directed the federal government to decide on the matter within seven days. Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry remarked that the court would not allow a delay in elections in the name of changing legislation.
The apex court has started contempt proceedings against Defence Secretary Asif Yasin Malik for failure to comply with court orders of conducting LB polls in cantonment boards.
The counsel for the defence secretary informed the Supreme Court that an intra-court appeal against the indictment had been filed. To this, Chief Justice Chaudhry asked if there had been a decision on the intra-court appeal.
