Supreme Court hearing underway on SIC’s plea to get reserved seats

Earlier this week, the apex court revoked Peshawar High Court’s decision in which it said the Sunni Ittehad Council, was not eligible for reserved seats in parliament. After the decision, Attorney-General Mansoor Usman Awan highlighted that under Section 4 of the Supreme Court (Practice and Procedure) Act 2023, the present case should be heard by a larger bench of the Supreme Court since the issue concerns interpretation of constitutional provisions.
