ISLAMABAD -The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) filed a review plea in the Supreme Court on Tuesday, seeking to have its judgment on reserved seats reversed.
Farooq H. Naek filed a suit demanding that the Supreme Court rescind its July 12 ruling “granting the PTI its quota of reserved seats.”
The PPP claimed in its petition that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf was handed seats that it had not requested.
The PPP is the second party in the ruling coalition to approach the Supreme Court, following the Muslim League-Nawaz, which filed the review petition on July 15.
PML-N PLEA.
The Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) filed a review case in the Supreme Court (SC) challenging the supreme court’s July 12 decision allocating reserved seats to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.
The PML-N filed a petition, which named Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) President Hamid Raza, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), and 11 other political parties as respondents.
The major parties are the PPP, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (Pakistan), the Istehkam-e–Pakistan Party (IPP), and the Grand Democratic Alliance.
The review petition claims that the PML-N is the largest political party in parliament and asks the court to review and overturn the reserved seats ruling given on July 12.
The PML-N demands a stay order on the Supreme Court’s July 12 judgment.
Meanwhile, the coalition government resolved to ban the PTI and prosecute former prime minister Imran Khan, former president Arif Alvi, and ex-deputy speaker Qasim Suri under Article 6 for “unconstitutionally dissolving the assembly”.
Information Minister Atta Tarar announced that the administration would file a reference with the Supreme Court to trigger Article 6 [high treason].
