The Supreme Court dismisses Hamza Shehbaz as Chief Minister of Punjab, and Pervez Elahi takes his place.
“We find that the understanding and implementation of the said short judgment as well as the provisions of Article 63A(1)(b) of the Constitution by the Deputy Speaker, Provincial Assembly of Punjab, Lahore (Respondent No.1) was patently incorrect and erroneous and cannot be sustained,” the verdict said.
It added, “As a result, the Ruling dated 22.07.2022 issued by Respondent No.1, Deputy Speaker, Punjab Assembly is set aside and declared to be void, without lawful authority, and of no legal effect.
While reacting to the Supreme Court’s verdict, Nawaz Sharif said, “They have made fun of Pakistan. Salute to the three judges.”
