Provin­cial govt says Lahore High Court failed to fulfil legal requir­ements­LAHORE: The Punjab government on Tuesday challenged a Lahore High Court (LHC) decision, which granted bail to Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan (TLP) chief Khadim Hussain Rizvi, in the Supreme Court’s Lahore Registry. The provincial government, in its appeal, took the stance that the LHC failed to fulfil the legal requirements in its decision when bail was granted. The appeal was submitted to the Supreme Court Registrar’s Office. It will be heard in the Supreme Court Lahore Registry by a two-member bench on July 18. Qadri was granted bail in May and expired on July 15 but was further extended on medical grounds.
