PTI challenges Practice and Procedure Ordinance in Sindh High Court

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has challenged the Practice and Procedure Ordinance in the Sindh High Court.

In the petition filed with the Sindh High Court, PTI argues that the ordinance is a clear violation of the Supreme Court’s ruling.

The bench, led by Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa, had previously stated that an ordinance can only be issued in cases of emergency.

The petition further asserts that the Supreme Court has ruled that no ordinance can be issued immediately after a parliamentary session.

It claims that Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa is violating his own ruling and that the government is using the ordinance to politicize judges.

The petition requests that the ordinance be declared null and void, and its implementation be halted until a judicial decision is reached.

After filing the petition, Haleem Adil Sheikh spoke to the media, stating that they have come to file a petition against the proposed amendment.

He emphasized that there is an attempt to undermine constitutional freedom. He mentioned that PTI had also filed a petition against the Practice and Procedure Act in 2023 and that they stood with the judiciary in 2007 and will continue to do so now.
