| Summary |
In the case of W.P. No. 69001 of 2020, the Lahore High Court addressed a challenge to the constitution of an election board by the Punjab Bar Council. The petitioner, Sahibzada Syed Imran Haider, contended that there were irregularities in the formation of the board. However, the court, presided by Justice Muhammad Ameer Bhatti, found no merit in the petition. The Chairman Executive Committee of the Punjab Bar Council, Syed Farhad Ali Shah, defended the board's constitution, asserting compliance with Rule 175-I of the Legal Practitioners and Bar Councils Rules, 1976. As the petitioner was absent during the hearings, the court dismissed the petition, affirming the legality of the board's formation.
