The Pakistan Supreme Court on Sunday took a sou motu notice of the ongoing political situation in the country.

Chief Justice of Pakistan Umar Ata Bandial reached the apex court following the demand of the Opposition leaders to review the "unconstitutional" ruling given by National Assembly Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri, Geo News reported.

The judicial staff has also started reaching the top court, according to the report.

The joint Opposition has made a petition to cancel the ruling of the deputy speakers under which the assembly session was adjourned for an indefinite period as Suri cancelled the voting on the no-confidence motion, terming it "unconstitutional".
