The Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) has rescheduled for Nov 16 the hearing of the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government's petition challenging Peshawar High Court (PHC) rulings in cases related to the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) Ordinance.
At the previous hearing, the FCC had suspended the high court's orders directing the release of individuals detained under the MPO. The constitutional court had also restrained the PHC from exercising its writ jurisdiction under Article 199 of the Constitution in such cases.
