The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Friday formed a larger bench to hear Parvez Elahi’s plea against his denotification as Punjab chief minister by the Punjab governor. After recusal by Justice Farooq Haider, Justice Asim Hafeez has been included in the larger bench. Justice Abid Aziz will head the bench that will comprise Justice Tariq Saleem Sheikh, Justice Chauhdry Muhammad Iqbal and Justice Muzammil Akhtar Shabbir. The bench will begin hearing shortly. Earlier in the case, the LHC bench was dissolved after Justice Haider recused himself from hearing a petition filed by Chaudhry Parvez Elahi against an order of Governor Balighur Rehman to denotify him as the Punjab chief minister.
