PTI-SIC reserved seats case: Read full text of Supreme Court's verdict here
Apex court declares PTI eligible for reserved seats in 8-5 majority verdict
July 12, 2024
In a major development, the Supreme Court on Friday issued a detailed order on the reserved seats case related to the denial of reserved seats to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-backed Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC), after announcing its 8-5 majority verdict.
The judgement by a full bench came as a major legal victory for the Imran Khan-founded party, with the apex court ruling that it is eligible for the allocation of reserved seats.
The decision has not only paved the way for the PTI's return to parliament, which was kicked out of the February 8 polls owing to the Election Commission of Pakistan's (ECP) December 2023 ruling but has also increased the pressure on the coalition alliance by changing the composition of the National Assembly.
