LAHORE:The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Tuesday suspended the decision to reinstate the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) members of the National Assembly. LHC division-member bench headed by Justice Shahid Bilal Hasan conducted the hearing and sought a response from parties by June 21. The court announced the decision on National Assembly Secretary Tahir Hussain’s intra-court appeal.
The plea stated that 123 PTI MNAs had tendered resignations after the successful no-trust motion. It added that the LHC single bench announced the verdict on May 19 to restore the lawmakers contrary to the law.
The NA Secretariat pleaded with the court to nullify the LHC’s verdict. On June 6, the National Assembly (NA) Secretariat decided to file an intra-court appeal against the Lahore High Court’s (LHC) verdict in the PTI MNAs resignation case.
