Peshawar (HRNW) — The Peshawar High Court has returned a contempt of court petition filed by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government against the federal government, raising an objection concerning jurisdiction.
The KP government had maintained that roads were closed by the federal government despite orders issued by the Islamabad High Court, alleging that the closures amounted to a violation of the court’s directions.
However, the Peshawar High Court returned the petition after raising an objection regarding its jurisdiction to hear the matter. The development leaves the KP government to pursue the matter before the appropriate legal forum.
Human Angle
Road closures can directly affect citizens’ freedom of movement, access to essential services and daily activities. Disputes over compliance with court orders therefore carry wider implications for public access and the enforcement of judicial directions.
