The Balochistan High Court on Saturday dismissed petitions challenging the delimitation of provincial and national assembly constituencies. The petitioners had challenged the delimitation of six national and three provincial assembly constituencies. The delimitation was challenged of constituencies: NA-258, NA-259, NA-260, NA-261, NA-264, NA-265, PB-21, PB-22 and PB-23. Earlier on Friday, the BHC had declared delimitation of eight provincial constituencies of Quetta null and void. The high court had directed the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to re-conduct the delimitation in: PB-24 Quetta 1, PB-25 Quetta 2, PB-26 Quetta 3, PB-27 Quetta 4, PB-28 Quetta 5, PB-29 Quetta 6, PB-30 Quetta 7, and PB-32 Quetta 9. The ECP has, however, announced to challenge the verdict of the Balochistan High Court invalidating the delimitation of constituencies in the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
