The federal government has assured the Lahore High Court (LHC) that local bodies’ elections will be held on September 20, 2015.
Justice Ayesha A Malik resumed hearing of the case on Wednesday.
During the case proceedings, petitioner’s lawyer told court that the government is not taking the matter seriously and several issues are surfacing due to delay in holding of the local government polls.
It is clearly violation of the law and constitution, he added.
Meanwhile, the government’s lawyer informed the LHC that all arrangements have been finalised and polling would take place on September 20 as per the orders of the Supreme Court.
After hearing the arguments, the LHC disposed of the petition.
