Judgment text as reported

ADIL KHAN BAZAI VS ELECTION COMMISSION OF PAKISTAN art. 63a---Disqualification due to defection---Word "may"---Effect---Use of word "may" in granting power to Party Head indicates that its exercise is discretionary, not obligatory---Even if a member defaults undergrounds (a) or (b), the Party Head is not obligated to declare defection necessarily and he may choose not to exercise such power---Requirement of providing member concerned an opportunity to show cause as to why such a declaration should not be made against him, underscores that the Party Head must exercise such power justly, fairly and reasonably, rather than whimsically or arbitrarily.
