Govt to move SC for interpretation of Article 63(A), says Ch. Fawad

Islamabad: Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry revealed on Friday that the federal government has decided to file a reference in the Supreme Court – under Article 186 – for interpretation of Article 63 (A) of the Constitution.

“Supreme Court will be asked for its opinion on the legal status of the vote when members of a party are explicitly involved in horse-trading and change allegiances in exchange for money,” the information minister said in a series of tweets.

The article is related to the disqualification of an assembly member on grounds of defection. He further said that the SC would be requested to hear the reference on a daily basis and reach a verdict.
