Another petition has been filed in the Lahore High Court challenging the Punjab Protection Ownership ordinance, raising objections over the legality of the new property law. The Punjab government, the chief secretary, and the secretary law have been named as respondents in the case. The petition argues that granting administrative authorities powers in property-related cases under the new law is unlawful and unconstitutional. Additionally, the petition calls for an immediate suspension of the functioning of committees and tribunals constituted under the act and ordinance. The LHC is expected to take up the petition for hearing at a later date.
