Islamabad High Court postpones decision on PTI's Sept 27 protest
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has reserved its verdict on a legal challenge against the planned long march and protest organized by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in the capital city on September 27. The PTI has called for a nationwide demonstration, which will also take place in Islamabad, to advocate for the release of party founder Imran Khan and promote the supremacy of the Constitution.
A citizen, Waqas Ahmed, has filed a petition arguing that the protest could disrupt daily life, traffic, and business operations in Islamabad.
The case is currently being heard by a larger bench, presided over by IHC Chief Justice Sardar Muhammad Sarfraz Dogar, with Justices Muhammad Azam Khan and Muhammad Asif as part of the panel. On Monday, the bench decided to reserve its judgment after the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police chief assured the court that no "illegal or unconstitutional activities" would be permitted in connection with the protest.
Islamabad's Advocate General, Naveed Hayat Malik, informed the court at the beginning of the hearing that a miscellaneous application had been submitted, seeking permission to screen videos of PTI protests in 2022 and 2024.
