MUHAMMAD YUSUF versus ELECTION TRIBUNAL LOCAL COUNCIL, DISTRICT KOTLI
The Azad Jammu and Kashmir Local Government Election Rules, 1983 RR 59 and 56 Azad Jammu and Kashmir Interim Constitution Act (VII of 1974), brought evidence from the jurisdiction of the 44th electoral petition that could not be considered by the applicant. Confirmed in his election request. That the returning officer was placed in illegal confinement by the returning officer and he, along with his colleagues, stamped the ballot papers and voted in favor of him before the election began. However, the evidence on record was that on election day, a meeting was called by the presiding officer in which he told the other polling staff that for peaceful elections, the majority of voters in that particular ward The candidate has been returned, there should be no interruption. The Election Tribunal rightly ignored such evidence, which was created in its own way for a smooth voter turnout. And because of material contradictions in the evidence, the election petition was rightly dismissed, no interference with such conclusions was guaranteed in the High Court's constitutional jurisdiction.
