The Supreme Court of Pakistan, in a major legal victory for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), on Friday overturned the denial of reserved seats to the PTI.

Justice Mansoor Ali Shah announced the 8-5 split verdict on a petition filed by the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC), an ally of the PTI.

Justice Athar Minallah, Justice Shahid Waheed, Justice Muneeb Akhtar, Muhammad Ali Mazhar, Justice Ayesha Malik, Syed Hassan Azhar Rizvi and Irfan Saadat Khan ruled in favour of the PTI.

The top court nullified the Peshawar High Court’s order wherein it had upheld the ECP’s decision denying the reserved seats to the SIC.
