The Pakistan Supreme Court has ordered for the arrest of Pakistani Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf in connection with alleged corruption in power projects.

Earlier, the Supreme Court on Tuesday said Pakistan's general elections, due this year, will be held on time, and the Election Commission should be ready for it.

Hearing a case related to reforms in the election process, Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry said the elections cannot be delayed, Geo News reported.

The case was heard by a three-judge bench headed by the chief justice.

During the proceedings, Chief Justice Chaudhry remarked that the elections would be held on time no matter what. No compromise would be acceptable, he added.

He said the poll panel should be ready to follow the guidelines provided by the government to hold elections.(Times of India)

"The Pakistan Supreme Court has ordered for the arrest of Pakistani Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf in connection with alleged corruption in power projects." that was a DM article,
Pakistan is a country which abide to SAARC, Commonwealth and UN resolutions.
But Sri Lanka? What we have in Sri Lanka is Law of the Jungle.
Judiciary cannot give orders to Parliament and or its members, except President. That means are they above the LAW?
