Punjab privileges law challenged in LHC over granting judicial powers to lawmakers

A legal challenge has been brought before the Lahore High Court (LHC) over a Punjab privileges law that grants lawmakers judicial powers, raising concerns about the separation of powers in the province. The petition also questions the provision of official passports to members of the provincial assembly, suggesting it's an undue privilege. This move underscores broader debates on the balance of power between different branches of government and the potential for legislative overreach. It's a significant development as it could set a precedent for judicial review of legislative privileges in Pakistan.
