Plea on SIC referred to LHC CJ

ISLAMABAD:

 

A Lahore High Court judge on Monday referred petitions against the non-allocation of reserved seats to the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) to the LHC chief justice with a request for the formation of a larger bench for their hearing.

Justice Raheel Kamran passed the orders while hearing petitions filed by SIC Chairman Sahibzada Hamid Raza and others.

During the proceedings, a provincial law officer submitted that the reply to the petition was almost ready; however, it was yet to be signed by the Advocate General Punjab, who was currently busy before the Supreme Court of Pakistan in a case. APP
