LAHORE, Dec 30: The Lahore High Court suspended on Tuesday the disqualification orders of the Nazim and Naib Nazim of Union Council 147 of Lahore and restored them.
The court also issued notice to the respondent to appear on Jan 22, 2004.

DIRECTIVE TO POLICE: The Lahore High Court directed the Factory Area police not to harass a woman who married a man of her choice.
