SC constitutional bench urged to hear 26th Amendment pleas on priority basis

ISLAMABAD: The Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) on Friday requested the Supreme Court’s constitutional bench (CB) to decide challenges to the 26th Amendment before deciding the review petitions against the July 2024 majority decision in the reserved seats case.

Moved through senior counsel Hamid Khan, the application has requested the court to postpone the next hearing of the review petitions, scheduled to be resumed by the 11-judge constitutional bench on May 19, until the apex court determined challenges to the 26th Amendment.
