The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has decided to form a larger panel to consider a lawsuit challenging the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) anticipated protest on September 27. The court, led by Chief Justice Sardar Muhammad Sarfraz Dogar, deemed the case sensitive due to potential constitutional implications. Notices were sent to the inspectors general of all four provinces and Islamabad, requesting their presence at the upcoming hearing on September 10.

The court acknowledged the sensitivity of the matter and will convene a larger bench to examine the petition, issuing notices to various governmental officials.
