Hamza Shehbaz’s oath-taking petition has been postponed until 11 am. The Lahore High Court (LHC) wants to know why Punjab Governor Omar Sarfraz Cheema didn’t give the chief minister-elect an oath of office.
Chief Justice Muhammad Ameer Bhatti asked the advocate general of Punjab for help in the case. He asked him to tell the court at 11 am what the reason was for the governor of Punjab not administering the oath to CM-elect Hamza Shehbaz.
A lawyer for the state of Punjab said that the governor of Punjab thinks the election of the Chief Minister of Punjab was not done legally.
LHC Chief Justice: “What if the governor of Punjab doesn’t want to take the oath? What will happen?” In order for the governor not to give an oath, he will have to give a reason.
It is important to note that Hamza Shehbaz has hired Ashtar Ausaf Advocate to help him with his case after his former lawyer, Azam Nazir Tarar, was named law minister of the federal government.
