Chief Justice Lahore High Court (LHC) has ruled on a petition filed by Punjab Chief Minister regarding the election of Chief Minister Punjab. Election of Punjab Chief Minister will be held on April 16. The court has ordered the parties to perform their constitutional duties impartially. The Lahore High Court has also restored the powers of Deputy Speaker Dost Mazari.

Earlier, the Lahore High Court had directed the parties to resolve the issue through mutual consultation for the election of Punjab Chief Minister. Chief Justice Amir Bhatti heard the petition of Deputy Speaker Dost Mazari against the adjournment of the Punjab Assembly session. In his remarks, the Chief Justice Lahore High Court said that it remains to be seen whether the session of the Punjab Assembly can be adjourned like this. Is there any violation of procedure in the election of the Chief Minister? What is the procedure for selection of Chief Minister?

In response, the Secretary Punjab Assembly said that the Chief Minister resigned on April 1 and the candidates submitted their applications on April 2, after scrutiny the nomination papers were accepted, called for voting on April 3 There was a commotion in the Punjab Assembly on that day on which the meeting was adjourned till April 6, after which on April 5 the Deputy Speaker adjourned the meeting till April 16 but on April 6 it was learned from social media that the meeting was resumed on April 6. A no-confidence motion was filed against the Deputy Speaker and a notification was issued to revoke his powers.

On this occasion, the Chief Justice said that under the rules, as far as I can understand, the date of the election cannot be changed, can the election be postponed? On this the counsel for the Secretary Punjab Assembly replied that the meeting could not be adjourned before 5 o'clock, the proceedings of the Assembly could not be challenged under Article 69. Here the Chief Justice remarked that time may go back and forth but not day, it cannot be when you want to follow the rules and when you don't want to, tell me how long the voting can be? Elections have not been held for 10 days, you should hold elections in two or four days.

During the hearing, Hamza Shahbaz's lawyer Azam Nazir Tarar said that if Hamza Shahbaz's papers were accepted then the election should have been held on April 6. We want the matter to be resolved by sitting in the office of Advocate General Punjab.
