Legal Battle Over CM Maryam Nawaz's Attire Continues

In Lahore, a lower court has adjourned the hearing of a petition against Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz for wearing a Punjab police uniform until May 6. The hearing was delayed due to the transfer of the judge handling the case, with the duty judge postponing further action.

CM Maryam Nawaz sparked controversy on April 26 when she appeared at a passing-out ceremony for women constables and traffic assistants dressed in a Punjab police uniform. A petition was swiftly filed the next day in a Lahore court, arguing that it is illegal for individuals to wear state institution uniforms.

The petitioner highlighted that despite requesting the Punjab Police to take action against Maryam Nawaz, no steps were taken. The plea urged the court to initiate legal proceedings against the Chief Minister for violating uniform regulations.

During the previous hearing, the court had requested a report from the petitioner, setting the stage for further deliberations on the case. The adjournment until May 6 indicates that the legal battle over Maryam Nawaz's attire is far from over.

In conclusion, the controversy surrounding CM Maryam Nawaz's choice of attire at the police ceremony has led to a legal showdown in Lahore's lower court. The outcome of this case will likely have implications for the wearing of state institution uniforms by individuals in positions of authority.
