PESHAWAR – The Peshawar High Court (PHC) was petitioned on Saturday to overturn the notice dissolving the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Assembly.
The PTI-led administration has previously dissolved the KP legislature in order to put pressure on the current government.
Muhammad Furqan Qazi petitioned the court via Advocate Muhib Kakakhel, claiming that dissolving the assembly was illegal since previous KP CM Mehmood Khan, on the orders of PTI head Imran Khan, issued the summary of dissolution to Governor KP Haji Ghulam Ali without hesitation.
According to the petition, Mr Khan subsequently claimed that he had been directed by someone else to dissolve the Punjab and KP legislatures. The appeal asked the court to overturn the notice of dissolution on the grounds that the previous KP CM violated the constitution.
The petitioner also requested that the court require the governing party to name the CM and the provincial cabinet.
