Another review petition has been filed challenging the decision to allocate reserved seats to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
The petition was lodged by three members of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) — Huma Akhtar Chughtai, Mehjabeen Abbasi, and Syeda Amna Batool.
The petitioners argue that the decision to grant reserved seats to the PTI should be annulled. They have named several parties in their petition, including the Sunni Ittehad Council and the Election Commission of Pakistan.
The review petition contends that the Sunni Ittehad Council did not submit lists for certain reserved seats, which the petitioners argue undermines the fairness of the seat allocation process.

The petitioners are seeking to overturn the decision, asserting that it does not align with the established procedures and fairness principles in the election process. The case is expected to be reviewed by the relevant judicial and electoral authorities in the coming days.
Previously, on July 15, the PML-N government filed a review petition in the Supreme Court challenging the decision made on July 12 regarding the allocation of reserved seats to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). In the petition, the PML-N has also requested the issuance of a stay order on the July 12 decision until a final ruling is made on the case.

The review petition argues that the Supreme Court should reconsider and withdraw the decision, asserting that the allotment of reserved seats to the PTI requires thorough review. The PML-N petition contended that the PTI had not formally requested these reserved seats, and the matter was only brought forward as a suggestion.
