The Chief Justice said that if the court itself gives time then who will run the government? The Chief Justice said that according to the Constitution, a province cannot be run without a Chief Minister.
Parvez Elahi said that what the court has to say is to carry out the order of the court.
Justice Ijaz-ul-Ahsan said that the members mentioned here are not available, it was said that there was no notification on five reserved seats, it was said that till the by-election you have no objection to Hamza Shahbaz.
Justice Ijaz-ul-Ahsan said that otherwise time could be given till the arrival of the members present in Pakistan. Pervez Elahi said that he could not be trusted in such a situation.
Justice Ejaz-ul-Ahsan told Pervez Elahi that his lawyer had said that he had no objection to Hamza till the completion of the by-election house.
Justice Ijaz-ul-Ahsan said that if you agree to hold by-polls, notification will be issued for five seats, Hamza Shahbaz should continue his work. The court said that the country cannot suffer from crisis, the crisis is to the detriment of the people.
If there is an assembly, the one who has the majority will become the chief minister
Justice Ijaz-ul-Ahsan should be elected for the post of Chief Minister after July 17. Pervez Elahi said that we do not recognize Hamza Shahbaz.
The Chief Justice said, “Then we decide under the law, who has to be harmed, let it happen, tell those who are speaking in your ear to sit down.”

Hamza Shahbaz said that the Supreme Court is respected, the system should continue to function, he did not want to repeat what happened in the past. He said that the attack on the Deputy Speaker was shameful.
During the hearing, Hamza Shahbaz said that no one is indispensable for the system, let elections be held today, we also have people who wanted to go on Hajj but did not go, let the Supreme Court elections.
