LHC expresses anger on filing ‘baseless’ case against Nawaz
LAHORE (MNP) – The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Thursday expressed anger on a petition filed against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif for reportedly attending a meeting of the Punjab cabinet recently.
Advocate Nadeem Sarwar moved the LHC for restraint orders against PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif for attending cabinet meeting. The petitioner submitted that Nawaz Sharif was neither a minister nor a chief minister, or hold any administrative position. However, he presided over an administrative level meeting which he cannot.
Justice Muzamil Shabbir Akhtar asked the advocate whether Nawaz Sharif was giving instructions in his own name during the meeting. Was he issuing orders with his signature?
Advocate Nadeem could not answer the questions. He, however, said that a press release mentioned him ordering distribution of electric bikes, running underground train.
