ABUJA \u2013 The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, yesterday, at the Supreme Court, challenged the decision of the Justice Isa Salami-led presidential election tribunal to continue further hearing on the petition by the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, notwithstanding the fact that it was registered on a Sunday.<\/p>\n

The party also enumerated seven legal grounds it said should be considered by the apex court with a view to discovering that the president of the Appeal Court, Salami, erred in law when he declined to dismiss the suit which is seeking to sack President Goodluck Jonathan from office.<\/p>\n

PDP had, July 6, pleaded the five-man panel of justices presiding over the presidential election petition to terminate the suit filed before it by the CPC, contending that it was smuggled into the court registry on Sunday, May 8, an action it said, ipso facto, rendered the suit nugatory and dies non-juridicus.<\/p>\n

The party, alongside President Jonathan and his Vice, Namadi Sambo, argued that Section 137 (3) of the Electoral Act 2010 (as Amended); Order 3, Rule 9 of the Court of Appeal Rules 2011; Order 46, Rule 4 of the Federal High Court (Civil Procedure) Rules 2009; and Paragraphs 4 (d) and 47 (1) of the 1st Schedule to the Electoral Act 2010 (as Amended), forbade the filing of election petitions on a Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
