LAHORE: On Monday, the Lahore High Court (LHC) delivered a verdict rejecting the admissibility of a petition that sought the removal of Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar from office.
Justice Shahid Bilal Hassan presided over the case and announced the reserved judgment.
The petition, filed by local lawyer Muhammad Muqasit, argued that the caretaker prime minister’s appointment has lost its effectiveness after the completion of the mandated 90-day period.
Consequently, the petitioner urged the court to issue an order for the removal of the Caretaker Prime Minister from office.
The federal government, represented by its counsel, strongly opposed the petition, urging the court to declare it inadmissible.
Today, Justice Shahid Bilal Hasan upheld the government’s stance, declaring the application as inadmissible and subsequently dismissing it.

Commander of the Royal Saudi Land Forces (RSLF), Lieutenant General Fahd bin Abdullah Al-Mutair, met with Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir at the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi, as announced by the military’s media affairs wing on Monday.
As per the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the discussions between both parties encompassed various areas of mutual interest, including collaboration in defense, security, and military training. They also touched upon the regional situation and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
Currently, efforts by Qatar, Egypt, the United States, the European Union, and other nations are underway to extend the temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The temporary ceasefire agreement involved the exchange of dozens of hostages between both sides.
Since the commencement of the Israel-Hamas conflict on October 7, over 15,000 Palestinians, including more than 6,200, have lost their lives due to Israeli aggression and bombardment on civilian sites, including hospitals.
The visiting dignitary commended the Pakistan Army’s efforts in combating terrorism and expressed profound admiration for the sacrifices made to bring peace to the region.
