The Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) High Court had ordered the Election Commission to provisionally register PTI as a political party on June 23. The AJK Supreme Court later suspended that order, issuing an interim halt to the registration until further review. The Supreme Court constituted a full bench, headed by Chief Justice Raja Saeed Akram Khan, to examine the case. The AJK Election Commission had challenged the High Court’s decision, arguing it granted relief beyond what was requested. The next hearing is scheduled for July 2. The registration of PTI AJK remains pending. According to arynews.tv, the High Court bench that issued the June 23 order was headed by Chief Justice Sadaqat Hussain Raja. Burakbaloch.pk reported that the AJK Supreme Court issued notices to all parties in the case, that the AJK general elections are scheduled for July 27, 2026, and that the number of registered voters in AJK has surpassed 3.8 million.
