LHC orders administration of oath to CM-elect Hamza Shehbaz by tomorrow
LHC CJ Bhatti asks which law mandated Punjab governor to examine the validity of chief minister’s election.
Remarks prime minister’s advice was not required in the matter.
Court to announce reserved verdict at 10:00am.
LAHORE: Lahore High Court (LHC) Chief Justice Muhammad Ameer Bhatti will announce the verdict on chief minister-elect Hamza Shehbaz's petition today at 10:00am seeking a direction to the Senate chairman to administer the oath to him.
Hamza was elected as Punjab's chief minister on April 16. However, he hasn't sworn in yet as his oath-taking was deferred twice despite the LHC's directives for not delaying the matter any further.
The LHC reserved the verdict on Hamza's plea on Tuesday, which is the second time PML-N has reached out to the high court for the resolution of the matter.
During the hearing, Punjab Advocate-General Ahmad Owais maintained that the Punjab Governor Omer Sarfaraz Cheema had sent a six-page letter to President Arif Alvi and expressed serious concern over the election of the chief minister, besides seeking his advice. He stated that the president had sent the recommendations of the governor to the prime minister.
