The summer vacations in the country’s courts have ended, and hearings in various cases will resume as usual from tomorrow, Monday, September 14. The Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) is scheduled to hear a petition against Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi tomorrow, Monday, September 14, while the Supreme Court will hear several petitions on Wednesday, including a request seeking the transfer of PTI founder Imran Khan to a hospital.
A bench headed by Chief Justice of the Federal Constitutional Court Amin-ud-Din Khan will hear the petition against KP Chief Minister Sohail Afridi. The petition was filed by Sher Afzal Marwat and also seeks the reinstatement of Ali Amin Gandapur as chief minister.
Meanwhile, a three-member bench of the Federal Constitutional Court, also headed by Chief Justice Amin-ud-Din Khan, will hear petitions seeking permission for prisoners to receive medical treatment at private hospitals, similar to the relief sought in the case of PTI founder Imran Khan.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear on September 16 a petition seeking the transfer of Imran Khan to a hospital. The court will also take up the government’s review petition against its August 18 order on the same day. In addition, the Supreme Court will hear a contempt petition filed by the PTI, alleging non-compliance with the court’s order.
Meanwhile, the same Federal Constitutional Court bench will hear a petition filed by PTI leader Sher Afzal Marwat against incumbent Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi. The petition seeks the restoration of Ali Amin Gandapur as chief minister of the province.
Filed under Article 175(E) of the Constitution, the petition asks the court to declare that the resignation letters submitted by Gandapur on October 8 and 11, 2025, were tendered under what Marwat describes as unconstitutional directives from a convicted and disqualified individual. It argues that the resignations therefore lacked free and independent consent and were legally ineffective.
The petition further alleges that the process leading to Gandapur’s replacement as KP chief minister was initiated on the directives of Imran Khan, whom it describes as convicted and constitutionally disqualified under Articles 62 and 63 of the Constitution. The allegations contained in the petition are subject to the court’s determination.
