Peshawar High Court postponed the hearing of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi's appeal against an Election Commission of Pakistan notice until October 7. The two-member bench comprised Justice Arshad Ali and Justice Muhammad Faheem Wali. Afridi's legal team requested additional time, citing the recent submission of a power of attorney.
However, Justice Arshad Ali warned that repeated adjournment requests would not be tolerated. Election Commission Additional Director General Law Khurram Zeshan criticized the multiple postponements, arguing the case had already been heard before the ECP and no objection was raised. The ECP has not yet issued a decision in the matter. The court reiterated that the case would not be postponed after today.
