LHC moved for enforcement of verdict on Hamza's oath taking
Chief Justice Lahore High Court Amir Bhatti will hear the petition tomorrow, April 26.
Lahore: A petition has been filed in the Lahore High Court (LHC) seeking the implementation of the court order regarding the swearing-in of Hamza Shahbaz as Chief Minister of Punjab.
According to details, a new petition has been filed in the High Court today for the swearing-in of newly elected Punjab Chief Minister Hamza Shahbaz, which has been fixed for hearing. Chief Justice Lahore High Court Amir Bhatti will hear the petition tomorrow, April 26.
Secretary to President, Federation, Prime Minister, and Punjab Government have been made a party in the petition, which contends that the President of Pakistan is delaying the implementation of the order without any reason.
Meanwhile, PML-N leader Ata Tarar while talking to the media, said that we could have taken oath from any constitutional official but we did not take the law into our hands. History will remember incumbent Governor Punjab as one of the worst holders of this position in the history, he added.
The PML-N leader said that the Prime Minister sent a summary to the President to remove the Governor but Imran Niazi and Omar Sarfraz Cheema are pushing the province into crisis because of their ego.
The province is without a chief minister for 24 days while the President and the Governor have refused to fulfill their constitutional responsibilities, he added.
