The chief justice was hearing the petition filed by Muhammad Rafique Malik.
The petitioner through his petition submitted that the interim Punjab government appointed 13 assistant advocates generals without any lawful authority. Referring to a Supreme Court verdict, he contended that the step was illegal and against constitution.
