“If the house of justice makes specific decisions via the same bench and contradicts itself, negates its own decisions, or puts its weight behind a single side under pressure from bullying, threats, misbehavior, and abuses, then do not expect us to submit to such biassed decisions. There can be no more! “Leader of the PML-N tweeted.
Article 63A
The PML-N leader claimed that the Supreme Court’s ruling on Article 63A was the catalyst for the current political chaos and instability, adding that the court used a “arbitrary interpretation” of the constitution to disregard the votes cast voluntarily by MPAs.

By three votes, Hamza triumphs.
A day earlier, Hamza Shahbaz kept his position as chief minister of Punjab after Deputy Speaker Dost Mazari rejected 10 PML-Q members’ votes by citing Article 63A of the Constitution.
As a result, Elahi, who had the support of the PTI, managed to win 176 votes, while Hamza received 179 votes.
Petition filed challenging Mazari’s CM Punjab election decision
A petition was filed challenging the election of the Punjab Chief Minister after Deputy Speaker Dost Mazari’s decision regarding the rejection of PML-Q votes.
Late at night, Pervez Elahi’s attorney Aamir Saeed Rawn filed a petition with Hamza Shahbaz, Deputy Speaker Dost Mazari, and the chief secretary as parties in the SC Lahore Registry.
Speaking to the media, Aamir Saeed stated that the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) should take sou motu notice because Deputy Speaker Dost Mazari had misinterpreted the SC verdict.
fight for Punjab
Since the resignation of former chief minister Usman Buzdar, the conflict for the throne of Punjab has persisted.
Following Buzdar, PTI had proposed PML-Q Chaudhry Pervez Elahi for the top position, while the PML-N and the central coalition partners supported Hamza Shahbaz.
However, despite Hamza Shahbaz’s election as chief minister on April 16 with a clear majority, the provincial crisis worsened as a result of the former governor’s refusal to take the oath.
Hamza then filed a petition with the Lahore High Court (LHC), and on April 30, National Assembly Speaker Raja Pervaiz Ashraf gave Hamza the oath in accordance with the LHC’s instructions.
