The Lahore High Court on Tuesday admitted the PTI pleas challenging Hamza Shehbaz’s oath-taking to the office of chief minister of Punjab.
A five-judge bench of the LHC headed by Justice Sadaqat Ali Khan heard the PTI appeals which challenged three orders of the court regarding Hamz’s oath-taking.
The full bench of the Lahore High Court reminded the concerned parties that the court had nothing to do with who was the advocate general directing them to decide their issues outside the court. The court adjourned the hearing of the appeals without giving any date.
PTI lawyer Imtiaz Siddiqui told the court that the Supreme Court was being approached over the matter of ruckus in the Punjab Assembly and election of chief minister Punjab. On the further inquiry of the bench, the PTI lawyer said that as far as the matter of oath-taking of Hamza was concerned, the matter was before the full bench of the LHC.
On behalf of Hamza, lawyer Mansoor Awan appeared before the bench. Former Punjab Assembly secretary told the bench that his reply was discarded because it was against Hamza Shehbaz.
