PTI leaders seek court order for KP officials release
PTI lawmakers approached the Federal Constitutional Court on Thursday to secure the immediate release of detained Khyber Pakhtunkhwa officials.
Lawmakers file petition for freedom
National Assembly member Shandana Gulzar filed a petition seeking the production of Sohail Afridi and other party workers before the court. The non-functional chief minister has not been seen since the Centre imposed governor's rule on October 11. PTI asserts that Afridi remains chief minister with the confidence of founder Imran Khan despite the emergency.
Court asks government for details
The petition named federal secretaries and police chiefs as respondents who must disclose custody grounds before the bench. Chief Justice Amin-ud-Din Khan heads a two-member FCC bench that issued notices to the government on November 5. Gulzar requested a declaration that specific constitutional articles do not authorize the current arrests or detention of elected leaders.
Gohar joins legal challenge
PTI Chairman Gohar Ali Khan asked the court to implead him as a party in the governor's rule case. He challenged the proclamation order dated 11-10-26 regarding the state of emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The application seeks enforcement of fundamental rights against alleged unlawful confinement and concealment of whereabouts for provincial leadership.
