KP approaches FCC, challenges years-long extension of 7th NFC Award after Fata merger

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government filed a constitutional petition in the Federal Constitutional Court (FCC), challenging the continued extension of the 7th NFC Award after the 2018 merger of Federally Administered Tribal Areas into the province. It claims its Rs964 billion share in the Federal Consolidated Fund should reflect expanded responsibilities and population following the 25th Constitutional Amendment.
