It has been argued in the petition that the decision of the Supreme Court is completely silent on a few points, should the Sunni Ittehad Council get specific seats. The decision is silent, should such a party get reserved seats which has not submitted the list itself. The verdict is silent.
The petition states that whether an independent candidate can join a party whose one winning candidate is not present in the assembly. Should the seats be left vacant or distributed among the parties that contested the elections. The Supreme Court heard a lot of points but the short judgment is silent on many important points.
