The apex court ruled that none of the parliamentarians have been penalized

The Supreme Court has on Thursday night ruled on the opposition's case over the state of 12 parliamentarians who the Elections Commission deemed had lost their seats.

The apex court ruled that none of the parliamentarians have been penalized and that they still retain their position and seats in parliament.

The ruling follows days of the opposition's leadership pursuing it at both the Elections Commission and the Supreme Court.

The court had also ruled for the release of a number of politicians currently serving criminal sentences.
