LAHORE (Dunya News) – Supreme Court, in its big decision, has termed authority to seek Chief Minister’s prerogative of permission for launching cases against corruption in Punjab as unconstitutional.

While announcing the verdict on the plea of Director General in Punjab’s anti-corruption unit Hussain Asghar, the apex court suspended CM‘s authority to approve inquiry into graft cases.
The court has also directed to conclude anti-corruption cases that are under hearing at Lahore High Court (LHC) in two weeks.
