A petition challenging the imposition of governor’s rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been filed in the Peshawar High Court, according to Business Recorder’s report of the legal filing.
The challenge concerns the constitutional basis and process for the decision. The petition asks the court to examine the legality of the measure.
The filing of a petition does not mean that the court has ruled against governor’s rule or suspended the measure.
Pakistan Report has not independently examined a certified copy of the petition or a court order. Details of the filing are therefore attributed to reports of the proceedings.
Further developments will depend on how the court handles the petition and any responses submitted by the relevant authorities.
