PHC rejects Sunni Ittehad Council’s request for reserved seats

The Peshawar High Court has dismissed the Sunni Ittehad Council’s plea for reserved seats and against their allocation among other political parties, maintaining that the court’s authority is limited to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The court’s decision follows arguments from both sides, where the SIC’s counsel argued for the party’s rightful share of reserved seats based on their participation in elections. However, the court emphasized that the SIC neither contested the elections nor submitted a list for reserved seats, prompting discussions on the legal framework surrounding reserved seats and the obligations of political parties.
