LAHORE: The Lahore High Court on Tuesday summoned the record in a contempt of court petition of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) against the deputy commissioner Lahore for denying permission to hold a public rally at Minar-i-Pakistan last year.
PTI Punjab Vice President Akmal Khan Bari through his counsel pleaded before the court that the PTI had approached the DC Lahore to seek permission for a rally at Minar-i-Pakistan. However, he said, the DC failed to decide the application despite a court’s direction.
He contended that non-compliance with court orders amounts to contempt of court. He asked the court to initiate contempt proceedings against the DC for ignoring the court’s order.
During the proceedings, a law officer submitted a written reply on behalf of the deputy commissioner.
