Earlier, ECP filed an intra-court appeal against the Islamabad High Court’s decision to conduct the LG polls in the capital (Dec 31).

The ECP filed the intra-court appeal 

against the court’s verdict for its inability to conduct the polls on such short notice. The court will hear the appeal this week as well.
