Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial said Thursday that the Lahore High Court (LHC) should decide the case for the Punjab Assembly.
This is what happened when the advocate general for Punjab brought up that the opposition MPAs in the Punjab Assembly had voted to make Hamza Shahbaz the next chief minister in a symbolic session. The chief justice said this in response. He was talking about the suo moto case of the dismissal of a no-confidence motion in the National Assembly.
Lawyer: The advocate general of Punjab said that the constitution had a very small role in their lives before. He said that Hamza Shahbaz would be sworn in on April 7 as the new CM at Bagh e Jinnah in Lahore (today). This is what he said: “Hamza also held a meeting of government officials today.“
Bandial said the Supreme Court would not rule on the matter of the Punjab Assembly, but he didn’t say what the court would do. People should talk about this at the Lahore High Court, he said. He didn’t want to draw attention away from the case of NA.
When a judge asked if the doors of the assembly could be legally closed like they were on April 6, Justice Mazhar Alam Mian Khel said, “Yes.”
As a leader of the PML-N, Azam Nazeer Tarar said that the PA members were elected by the people. If the people’s representatives were stopped from going to the assembly, what should they do?
They were removed from the rostrum by the CJP.
He was chosen as the new chief minister by the opposition MPAs in a symbolic meeting of the Punjab Assembly (PA) on Wednesday night. Hamza Shahbaz is now the leader of the opposition in the Punjab Assembly.
Jahangir Khan Tareen and Aleem Khan’s groups held a symbolic meeting of the Punjab Assembly at a hotel in protest because the Punjab Assembly building had been locked with barbed wires this week because of a lot of confusion about when important meetings were going to be held for the election of a new chief minister after the resignation of Usman Buzdar.
Some 199 members of the assembly are said to have voted in favor of Hamza in the symbolic session, which was held.
Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, the Speaker of the Punjab Assembly, has been nominated by the PTI. He is the leader of the opposition in the Punjab Assembly. Hamza Shahbaz has been nominated by the opposition groups.
