The court also issued a written decision on the request of Tehreek-e-Insaaf, in which Justice Farooq Haider wrote that the Deputy Commissioner Lahore should decide on the request by 5 pm according to the law.
The court wrote in the judgment that the application related to stopping the meeting is inadmissible and therefore it is being disposed of.
