Barrister Babar Shehzad Imran has filed a writ petition before the Peshawar High Court on behalf of Abbas Afridi, a candidate from NA-35 Kohat in the 2024 general elections. The petition challenges the delay in the adjudication of an election dispute by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Election Tribunal. The petitioner has requested the court to ensure that the matter, involving allegations of poll rigging, is decided within the 180-day timeframe prescribed under the Election Act, 2017.
