It should be noted that earlier last month PTI’s application was fixed for hearing. It was decided that a 2-member bench of the Peshawar High Court will hear the petition, which will include Justice Ijaz Anwar and Justice Arshad Ali.
PTI filed a petition against the postponement of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly elections on April 10. The party took the stand that under the constitution, the caretaker government is required to hold elections compulsorily within 90 days.
The petition said that if the elections cannot be held in 90 days, then they should be held in the shortest possible time. Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Haji Ghulam Ali should be ordered to give an immediate date for elections.
