The Sunni Ittehad Council — new home of the PTI — has filed a petition in Peshawar High Court (PHC) against the Election Commission of Pakistan’s decision to reject the allocation of reserved seats to the party.

In its plea, the SIC prayed that the ECP’s verdict be set aside and the party be given its “due right” to reserved seats in the national and provincial assemblies.

The petition has been fixed for hearing and will be taken up by a two-member bench comprising Justice Ishtiaq Ibrahim and Justice Shakeel Ahmed.
