Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has filed an application in the Supreme Court to become a party in the ongoing reserved seats case.
The case was originally filed by the Sunni Ittehad Council as an appeal against a decision by the Peshawar High Court.
Attorney General Mansoor Awan has submitted written arguments to the Supreme Court in a case challenging the denial of reserved seats to the Sunni Ittehad Council.
The Supreme Court has been requested to dismiss the appeal of the Sunni Ittehad Council and uphold the Peshawar High Court’s decision.

According to the Attorney General, reserved seats are only available to political parties that participate in elections and win at least one seat. The law requires the submission of a list for these reserved seats.
In this case, the Attorney General argued that the Sunni Ittehad Council did not participate in the elections nor did they submit a list for reserved seats. He emphasized that these seats are reserved for minorities and women.
