Chief Minister (5k+ posts)
SC took Suo Moto and quashed Qasim Suri's ruling in a matter of hours and did not even bother to call him to explain his reasoning. However, they are taking ample time to adjudicate on the issue of Deputy Speaker decision which is a clear and obvious violation of constitution.
Neutrals and status quo cannot afford to cede Punjab to PTI for several reasons as outlined below.
# Crime Minister will be rendered toothless as PTI will be ruling in majority of the country.
# SS has to make the difficult decisions in the center, while PTI will mostly have the task of spending money on developmental projects.
# If SS has to dissolve National Assembly, PTI will still remain in power in KP/Punjab and as a result NA elections will be conducted under PTI controlled provincial machinery.
Because of these reasons the decision may not be announced on Monday. My suspicion is that they will further drag this case by using various excuses including making of a larger bench (Aitezaz Snake and Ansar Bicchu are favoring it).
By buying time, they want to come up with a way so that PTI cannot form the government in Punjab. Some of the possible ways of keeping PTI at bay are,
# Dissolve Punjab and National Assemblies simultaneously before the verdict is announced. This will be quite controversial but anything is possible in this country. That may be one of the reasons Hamza is again reinstated as interim CM which does not make any sense as Buzdar should be the one as he was the last properly elected CM.
# Expedite cases against Imran and somehow trap him in their farcical judicial process. Unlikely, but again not out of the question.
# Order to have CM re-election and then force/coax Pervez Elahi (mole of GHQ) to part ways with PTI, most plausible scenario.
