PHC Challenges KP Governor's Rule, Emergency; Seeks CM's Recovery

The Peshawar High Court (PHC) has issued notices to federal authorities, including the attorney general, challenging the imposition of governor’s rule and an emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The court also sought a formal response within two days regarding the alleged detention of non-functional Chief Minister Sohail Afridi. Petitions argue that the presidential proclamation and emergency orders are unconstitutional, citing requirements for provincial assembly resolutions. This significant political development could introduce market uncertainty, potentially influencing investor sentiment and the stability of the Pakistani Rupee against the US Dollar.
