Islamabad High Court Questions Caretaker Government’s Neutrality in Pakistan Elections

On Friday, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) expressed deep concerns regarding the caretaker government’s role and neutrality in the upcoming elections scheduled for February 8.

Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb criticized the system under the caretaker setup, highlighting the lack of consultation for elections and questioning the government’s commitment to ensuring a fair electoral process. The court raised suspicions about the government’s intentions, specifically questioning whether it aims to derail the elections.

The court’s remarks were made during the plea hearing by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gauhar Khan and other lawyers. They sought permission for legal consultation with the party’s founder, Imran Khan, who is currently in jail.

The consultation was deemed necessary for decision-making regarding distributing 700 party tickets as the elections approached. In response, the court granted permission for this consultation under the supervision of the Adiala jail superintendent, emphasizing that consultation for elections is a fundamental right.

Judiciary’s Stand on Government Neutrality

Justice Aurangzeb stressed the need for the caretaker government to remain neutral in the electoral process. The court noted that opposition to the PTI founder’s consultation with the party chairman casts doubt on the government’s neutrality. This sentiment was echoed during the proceedings, which saw the appearance of the additional attorney general and Adiala jail superintendent.

The attorney and advocate general faced criticism from the court for objecting to the plea. Justice Aurangzeb’s sharp reprimand highlighted the importance of government representatives, such as the attorney general and advocate general, maintaining impartiality, especially in matters related to the caretaker government and the electoral process.
