LHC will announce the reserved verdict at 12:30pm on Thursday.
Lahore: The Lahore High Court (LHC) will announce the reserved verdict on pleas against the election of Hamza Shahbaz as Chief Minister of Punjab.
According to details, a five-member larger bench headed by Justice Sadaqat Ali Khan resumed hearing the pleas today.
During the hearing, the bench sought arguments from Hamza’s lawyer that whether the Supreme Court’s verdict on the presidential reference related to defecting lawmakers applies to past events.
Hamza’s counsel maintained that the ruling doesn’t apply to past events unless the apex court itself says so.
Later, the court reserved the verdict and will announce it tomorrow at 12:30 pm.
In a previous hearing, the high court had hinted at holding fresh election for the post of Punjab’s chief minister under April 16 circumstances, when incumbent Hamza Shahbaz was elected in a poll on a court order.
