Ruling coalition wants full court to hear PML-Q petition

ISLAMABAD: The ruling coalition on Saturday sought the formation of a full court to hear the petition filed by the PML-Q against the controversial ruling of Punjab Assembly Deputy Speaker Dost Mohammad Mazari.

The development comes as a three-member bench of the Supreme Court took up the petition and summoned the deputy speaker and issued notices to Chief Minister Hamza Shahbaz and others.

In a joint statement, the ruling alliance demanded of the top court to fix SCBA’s review petition on Article 63-A, PML-Q’s petition and other similar applications for hearing together.
