Attorney General for Pakistan Mansoor Usman Awan has appeared before the Peshawar High Court in a case pertaining to reserved seats in the national and provincial assemblies claimed by the Sunni Ittehad Council.

During the previous hearing, the PHC had once again deferred the oath-taking of nine women lawmakers, who had been awarded the reserved seats claimed by the SIC.

The bench had also reissued notices to the absent respondents through the ECP, including PML-N, MQM-Pakistan, Istehkam-i-Pakistan Party (IPP), and some MNAs-elect, who were notified as returned candidates by the Election Commission on reserved seats.
