For the SIC reserved seat case hearing, the top court assembled a three-member bench, according to the details.

Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar and Justice Athar Minallah round out the three-person bench led by Justice Mansoor Ali Shah.

The ruling of the Peshawar High Court (PHC) on reserved seats in the upper court was earlier declared to be challenged by Barrister Gohar, the chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

Barrister Gohar stated that in regards to the reserved seats issue, they will ask the supreme court to assemble a larger bench.

The Sunni Ittehad Council’s (SIC) petitions regarding reserved seats in legislatures were denied by the Peshawar High Court (PHC), which is noteworthy to highlight here.

Justice Ishtiaq Ibrahim read the reserved verdict as the five-member high court panel made a unanimous decision regarding the petition.

Barrister Ali Zafar apologized for missing the hearing when he came to the rostrum.

According to him, the candidates must run as independents because the PTI’s election emblem, “bat,” was taken before the poll.

Regarding the inquiry concerning the quantity of seats in the national assembly and regional assemblies. According to the SIC lawyer, the party is represented by 86 members in the National Assembly, 90 in the Punjab, 107 in Sindh, and 1 in the Balochistan Assembly. “The SIC has 226 seats in assemblies overall, and it is eligible for 78 reserved seats,” he continued.

“We were kept apart by the election commission, and the remaining political parties were given reserved seats,” the attorney claimed. Since it was an empty piece of land, some political parties asked the ECP to give us these seats.
