ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) -  A significant development has emerged regarding election tribunals formed to hear cases related to the 2024 general elections, as the Election Commission has dissolved three tribunals in Punjab comprising serving judges.

According to a spokesperson for the Election Commission of Pakistan, notifications appointing tribunals headed by Justice Sultan Tanvir Ahmad, Justice Anwar Hussain, and Justice Chaudhry Muhammad Iqbal have been withdrawn.
