ISLAMABAD: Three wo­­­men leaders of the ruling Pakistan Muslim Leag­­ue-Nawaz, who were elected on reser­ved seats, have filed a joint petition against the Supreme Court order on reserved seats in the case filed by Sunni Ittehad Council.

In their review petition against the July 12 majority judgement by the full bench of the apex court, PML-N leaders Huma Akhtar Chughtai, Mahja­been Abbasi and Syeda Amnah Batool argued that the decision, issued without their presence, violated their rights and ignored key provisions of the Elections Act, 2017.
