Earlier today, the Supreme Court heard the case regarding elections in Punjab. The court has ordered to hold elections on May 14.
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), Defence Ministry and Finance Ministry had submitted their reports saying that there were problems in providing funds and personnel for security for holding elections.
The court, in its previous hearing, had ordered the SBP to issue funds for holding elections directly to the ECP. But the parliament, in its resolution, had denied issuing funds directly.
