PESHAWAR (Lord Media): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has filed a review petition in the federal constitutional court against the imposition of governor’s rule and emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, seeking a revision of the court’s November 5 order. PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan and other petitioners argue that the federal court’s order has affected the proceedings of constitutional petitions pending in the Peshawar High Court, requesting to be made parties to the case and to allow the high court to continue its hearings.

The petition, filed through advocates Shah Faisal Ilyas and Ali Zaman, requests the federal constitutional court to amend its November 5, 2026, order and include Barrister Gohar Ali Khan and other petitioners in the case, allowing them to present arguments and submit written submissions.

It states that constitutional petitions against the emergency and governor’s rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were already under consideration in the Peshawar High Court, but the federal court’s order has disrupted these proceedings. The petitioners urge that the Peshawar High Court be permitted to resume hearings and make decisions on the pending petitions.

The petition also includes a request to resume hearings on the petitions concerning the recovery of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Suhail Afridi and Provincial Assembly Speaker Babar Saleem Swati.

President Asif Ali Zardari had signed a summary on October 11, 2026, under Articles 232 and 234 of the constitution on the Prime Minister’s advice, leading to the imposition of emergency and governor’s rule in the province. Various political parties, including PTI, had approached the Peshawar High Court against this decision.

Subsequently, on November 5, 2026, the federal constitutional court issued an order on the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government’s petitions, suspending proceedings of constitutional petitions filed on or after October 12 under Article 245, which involved military assistance to civil administration. Barrister Gohar Ali Khan is now seeking a review of the November 5 order to restore the hearings of pending cases in the Peshawar High Court.
