The Sindh High Court has dismissed an appeal filed by the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA).

The appeal was against the suspension of a notification banning the broadcast of statements by the founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party.

The court’s two-member bench has decided to refer the matter back to the single bench that had originally issued the suspension order.

The court has instructed the single bench to make a final decision on the case within six weeks.

The appeal was lodged by PEMRA after a single bench had suspended the ban on broadcasting the statements of the PTI founder.

The decision to return the case for further review reflects ongoing judicial scrutiny and procedural delays in resolving the matter.
