PHC moved for restoring KP assembly
Pakistan
Petitioner says CM KP dissolved assembly without thinking
PESHAWAR (Dunya News) – Peshawar High Court (PHC) was on Saturday moved for annulling the notification of dissolving Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Assembly.
The KP assembly had earlier been dissolved by the PTI-led government to mount pressure on the incumbent government.
Muhammad Furqan Qazi petitioned the court via Advocate Muhib Kakakhel, which stated that it was unlawful to dissolve the assembly as former KP CM Mehmood Khan, on the directions of PTI chief Imran Khan, sent the summary of dissolution to Governor KP Haji Ghulam Ali without giving any thought.
The plea further stated that later Mr Khan contended that he had been instructed by someone else to dissolve Punjab and KP assemblies. The petition requested the court to annul the notification of dissolution on the grounds that former KP CM did this in violation of the constitution.
The petitioner also pleaded the court to order the ruling party to nominate CM and provincial cabinet.
