Supreme Court Reverses Peshawar High Court Decision on Reserved Seats Eligibility

Islamabad: The Supreme Court of Pakistan has overturned a previous ruling by the Peshawar High Court concerning the eligibility for reserved seats, reinstating the entitlement of PTI-backed Sunni Ittehad Council members. The decision was delivered by Justice Mansoor Ali Shah with a majority of 8-5 in favor of the reversal.

According to Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the Supreme Court’s ruling counters the Peshawar High Court’s March verdict that had disqualified PTI-backed members from holding reserved seats. This high-stakes judicial reversal highlights ongoing legal debates around seat reservation and party endorsements in Pakistan’s complex electoral landscape.
