The three-man panel of the appeal court in their unanimous judgment said the decision to stay the order is in the interest of justice and fairness for the parties following the fact that the order has a life span that has already expired.
Speaking to newsmen outside the court, lawyer to APC National Chairman, Living Jamala said the judgment is welcomed development.
He said the judgment will now enable the party to go ahead with the party registration and re-validation exercise.
Living Jamala said there is no more legal hurdle holding the party from conducting its registration exercise.
