Lahore High Court (LHC) has issued notice to federal government and Election Commission (EC) for not giving right to vote to overseas Pakistanis.

The case on non granting right to vote came up for hearing before LHC Monday.

Justice Shujaat Ali Khan issued notice to federal government and EC on the petition filed against non giving the right to vote to overseas Pakistanis.

The petitioner said Supreme Court (SC) has given clear orders to grant the right to vote to overseas Pakistanis. LHC also issued directives to EC to give right to vote to overseas Pakistanis. But EC did not move forward on this matter despite court orders.

He prayed the court to issue orders to ensure grant of right to vote to overseas Pakistanis and use of EVM.
