Shehbaz Sharif, who is the Leader of the Opposition in NA, raised the issue in an open letter to National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser.

IHC in its order on Syed Khursheed Shah’s production plea on Thursday said that the constitution prohibits court to issue directives to the Speaker.
Chief Justice Islamabad High Court (IHC) Athar Minallah while disposing off the plea said that Article 69 of the Constitution prohibits issuing orders to the National Assembly Speaker.
Any interference by the court would be disrespect to the parliament, which was why the constitution prohibited it, the court said.
