LAHORE, May 12: A division bench of the Lahore High Court has ruled that laws and enactments, issued under the Provisional Constitutional Order, could not be questioned by courts as the Legal Framework Order-2002 protects them.

Dismissing petitions filed by PPP secretary-general Jehangir Badar and former chairman of Lahore district council Chaudhry Zulfiqar, the LHC’s bench on Monday declared that Article 5-A of the PCO had specifically ruled that “no order shall be subject to the limitation of time provided in the Constitution regarding its presentation before parliament for validation.”
