Chief Justice Lahore High Court Mansoor Ali Shah dismissed on Thursday a petition that had challenged the new uniform of the Punjab Police.
The petition had been filed by Advocate Mian Shabbir Ismail, who had pleaded that the government’s decision of changing the police uniform rather than changing police culture was questionable. Furthermore, the petitioner had also alleged that the public procurement rules had been violated when the tender was given to a particular textile mill.
Earlier, during the heading of the petition, the LHC Chief Justice had warned that the court would fine the petitioner if the contention in the petition were to be proved to be untrue. On Thursday, the Justice Mansoor Ali Shah, after dismissing the petition, also fined the petitioner an amount of Rs 10,000.
