The Peshawar High Court on Tuesday served notices to the Election Commission of Pakistan and the caretaker provincial government on PTI’s plea seeking election within 90 days after the dissolution of the KP Assembly.
KP Assembly was dissolved on January 18 after Governor Haji Ghulam Ali signed the advice for the dissolution of the provincial assembly sent to him by the then Chief Minister Mahmood Khan a day ago.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf moved PHC for elections in the province within 90 days of the dissolution of the assembly. PTI in its plea said as per the constitution, elections are to be held within 90 days but the KP governor has so far not given any date, citing law and order issues.
The PHC bench comprising Justice SM Atique Shah and Justice Ishtiaque Ibrahim remarked elections should be held within 90 as per the law.
