POSTPONED: The Lahore High Court (LHC) Bahawalpur Bench postponed until May 27 the hearing of a case contesting the appointment of ten special secretaries in south Punjab.
Through his attorney Aftab Mubarak, the PTI’s former minister Samiullah Chaudhry said in the petition that the appointments were made by the Punjab government with the intention of weakening the south Punjab secretariat in Multan and Bahawalpur.
