The Federal Constitutional Court has scheduled a fresh hearing of petitions challenging decisions in cases registered under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) law for November 16, reported 24NewsHD.
The hearing will take place on the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government’s petitions challenging rulings issued by the Peshawar High Court, according to the court’s latest proceedings.
At its previous hearing, the Constitutional Court had suspended the Peshawar High Court’s orders directing the release of individuals detained under the MPO law.
The court had also restrained the Peshawar High Court from exercising its writ jurisdiction under Article 199 of the Constitution in the relevant matters.
Following the Constitutional Court’s order, the Peshawar High Court stopped scheduling petitions filed under Article 199 for hearings.
