PHC removes pleas against KP emergency, PTI detentions from cause lists after FCC restraining order

The Peshawar High Court has removed around 105 petitions from its cause list, including those challenging the imposition of emergency and governor's rule in the province, as well as the alleged illegal detention of Chief Minister Sohail Afridi and several other PTI lawmakers, leaders, and workers. This decision was made in compliance with a restraining order issued by the Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) on October 12, which also directed the court not to entertain fresh petitions and return them to the petitioners, instructing them to approach the appropriate forum.

The FCC further ordered the KP advocate general to submit a report within seven days, identifying areas where the armed forces are no longer required to act in aid of civil power.
