PHC bars oath-taking of lawmakers on reserved seats denied to SIC till tomorrow..
The Peshawar High Court has barred MNAs-elect, notified on reserved seats denied to the Sunni Ittehad Council, from taking oath until tomorrow.
The directive was issued on a petition filed by the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) — the new home of the PTI — against the Election Commission of Pakistan’s decision to reject the allocation of reserved seats to the party.
The SIC plea was taken up by a two-member PHC bench today. The court issued a pre-admission notice to the ECP and directed it to submit its response in the case. It also halted the oath-taking of lawmakers until tomorrow.
The bench further referred the case to the PHC chief justice for the formation of a larger bench.
It must be noted that the National Assembly is set to convene tomorrow and lawmakers on reserved women and minority seats are expected to be sworn in.
