Seeks cause from Punjab interim government
RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) – Days after the Lahore High Court (LHC) restored Gujrat as a division and Wazirabad as a district, the LHC on Friday suspended the notification of the Punjab caretaker government and reinstated Murree as a district.
Justice Tanvir Sultan announced the verdict and sought a show-cause report by Punjab interim Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi and Punjab caretaker government.
The notification had been challenged by PPP leader Shaukat Satti, ex-MNA Sadaqat Abbasi, ex-nazim Shakeel Abbasi, and Murree traders group president Ikhlaq Abbasi.
