LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday reserved a verdict on the admissibility of plea against the Punjab Assembly’s expected dissolution.

Justice Shahid Karim of LHC reserved the verdict on the admissibility of the plea against the dissolution of the Punjab Assembly, after hearing initial arguments.
