The petitioner, Advocate Tariq Aziz Malik, claimed that the appointment of a deputy prime minister was aimed to reward a coalition ally and it had no provision in the Constitution, adding that it was a violation of Article 91 of the Constitution.
He requested the court to declare the appointment of Pervaiz Elahi as “illegal and unconstitutional”.
