On the other hand, Rawalpindi Mayor Sardar Naseem Khan said that he and union council chairmen had not done anything illegal and just opened his offices following the Supreme Court verdict given on March 25.

ISLAMABAD: Despite an unambiguous order by the Supreme Court, the Punjab government is dragging its feet over allowing the restored mayors, chairmen and local government councils to assume their offices in Punjab.
“If we are not allowed to take control of local governments as ordered by the apex court, we will certainly file a contempt of court plea,” reinstated Rawalpindi Mayor Sardar Naseem told The News. He said the Punjab authorities were giving lame excuses and creating hurdles in permitting the mayors, chairmen and councillors to resume their functions.
The March 25 short order of the three-judge bench of the Supreme Court that reinstated the local councils said that the “local governments as were existing in Punjab prior to the promulgation of Section 3 of the Punjab Local Government Act, 2019 stand restored and will complete their term in accordance with the law.”
