The LHC's registrar objected to admitting the plea of Hamza Shahbaz Sharif citing Article 69, which restricts courts from interfering with the parliament's business. Later, the matter was forwarded to LHC Chief Justice Ameer Bhatti, who admitted the plea.
Earlier, Hamza's lawyer Tarar, told the LHC that the speaker was himself running the CM’s office, and on the other hand, the deputy speaker was working in line with the Constitution.
The LHC asked whether the petition could be set for hearing on Monday. At this, the lawyer said the province does not have a government for the last eight days. "Then where were you for the last eight days?” the LHC CJ asked.
