Rule Changes

Not reported detained; earlier reporting misidentified him as suspended CM

The Federal Constitutional Court suspended Peshawar High Court proceedings on petitions filed under Article 199 on or after October 12, ruling that the army's deployment under Article 245 takes precedence. On November 7, the Peshawar High Court removed about 105 petitions from its November 10 cause list, including challenges to the emergency and to the detention of suspended Chief Minister Sohail Afridi.

Pakistan's Supreme Court ordered the government on Aug 18 to move Imran Khan to Shifa International Hospital for a medical assessment, let his family visit weekly and let him call his two sons twice a week. The government says it complied by sending him to a state-run hospital instead, but the bench said in open court that the order had not been carried out. No court has held a hearing on it since mid-September, Sach Suno reported.
