Meaning & Judicial Interpretation: (اردو مفہوم اور قانونی تشریح)
Taking divergent stances and raising contradictory pleas offended principle of maxim "allegans contraria non est audiendus" and undermined foundations of defence sought to be raised by a litigant.
When the Election Tribunal was considering deseating a returned candidate and declaring the runner up or any other candidate as elected, it should determine whether the votes cast in favour of the returned candidate had been thrown away
Concept of thrown away votes meant that voters intentionally cast votes in favour of a candidate who was known to the voters to be manifestly disqualified, resultantly the votes so cast may be treated to have been thrown away
Where the returned candidate was not disqualified to contest elections, the votes polled by him/her, which would be the majority of the votes, could not be disregarded (under the concept of throw away votes) nor could it be presumed that the runner up would have got the returned candidate's votes.
