ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Monday censured Punjab Governor Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar for promulgating the Punjab Local Government Ordinance (Amendment) 2021 on Feb 3, just a day after the prorogation of the provincial assembly.
“Is the legislature of Punjab incompetent or the Punjab governor is wiser than 374 members of the provincial assembly?” asked Justice Qazi Faez Isa, who was heading a two-judge bench which took up a set of petitions, mainly by the administrator of the Municipal Corporation of Peshawar, on the local government (LG) system. Justice Sardar Tariq Masood is the other member of the bench.
