Pakistan's Supreme Court temporarily suspends Peshawar High Court's rejection of Sunni Ittehad Council's petitions for reserved seats.

The SIC, which primarily comprises Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-backed independent candidates, had sought the seats on the basis of proportional representation. The top court's decision means the SIC can continue its push for allocated seats in the National Assembly.
