The Supreme Court has suspended the Peshawar High Court’s (PHC) verdict on reserved seat while accepting the Sunni Ittehad Council’s (SIC) plea against the high court’s ruling.
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had rejected the party’s plea depriving it of reserved seats.
Back in March, the Peshawar High Court had rejected the applications of SIC seeking reserved seats and against their division among other political parties.
Barring the members, who have taken oath on the reserved seats, from casting their votes in legislation, the SC said that it will hear the case on a daily basis from June 3.
Furthermore, the court noted that the said issue only concerns the additional reserved seats allotted to the political parties later on.
