Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has challenged the 26th Constitutional Amendment in the Supreme Court.
PTI has approached the Supreme Court to declare the 26th Constitutional Amendment null and void.
In the petition filed in the Supreme Court, PTI has also requested to prevent the Judicial Commission from appointing judges until a decision is made on the constitutional amendment. The petition has said that the 26th Constitutional Amendment should be declared null and void.
The petition has requested the court to declare all measures taken under the 26th Constitutional Amendment null and void. Parliament cannot change the basic features of the Constitution.
