ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf(PTI) has challenged the Practice and Procedure Amendment Ordinance in the Supreme Court(SC).
Chairman PTI Barrister Gohar Khan has filed a constitutional petition in the Supreme Court against the Practice and Procedure Amendment Ordinance.
The petition has requested that the Practice and Procedure Presidential Ordinance be declared unconstitutional and all the decisions of the Practice Procedure Committee after the Ordinance be declared illegal and nullified.
The petition asked that the newly constituted Practice and Procedure Committee be stopped from functioning pending the pendency of the constitutional petition and that the old Practice and Procedure Committee be allowed to function pending the petition against the Ordinance.
In the petition filed by Barrister Gohar, the Federation, Ministry of Law and Secretary to the President of the State have been made parties.
It should be noted that a few days ago, after the approval of the Federal Cabinet, President Asif Zardari signed the Practice and Procedure Ordinance, after which it came into effect.
