LAHORE, July 19: The back and forth between advertisers who are leasing the LCD screens on Main Boulevard of Gulberg and the Parks and Horticulture Authority which wishes to see them shut down for the time being continued on Saturday.

The PHA invoked a magistrate’s court against the contentious screens, according to its Director-General Irfan Elahi.

The verdict of a civil court on the issue was due to be delivered on Saturday, but was delayed owing to the lawyers’ strike, he told Dawn.

The PHA lawyers instead sought redress in the magistrate’s court on the grounds that the advertisers were illegally making use of the authority’s property.
