ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 13th Aug, 2018 ) :The Supreme Court on Monday directed the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to notify Pakistan Peoples Party's (PPP) Syed Zulfikar Shah as winner from the constituency PS-48 Mirpurkhas-II.

A three-member SC bench headed by Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar heard the appeal moved by the PPP leader challenging the Sindh High Court's (SHC) decision restraining the ECP from notifying the PS-48 Mirpurkhas election result.

Syed Ali Nawaz Shah, a disgruntled leader of the PPP, had challenged Zulfikar Shah's victory before the SHC's Hyderabad division bench.

The apex court after going through the arguments placed by the litigants' counsel suspended the SHC's decision and directed the ECP to issue the notification of Zulfikar Shah as candidate returned.
