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