According to a report by Premium Times, the ruling which was expected to be delivered on Tuesday afternoon was suspended following a petition against the judges.

While no new date has been fixed for the ruling, the two factions of the opposition party are leaving no stone unturned in getting a favourable judgement.

The two factions of the party had been seeking nullification and counter nullification of decisions of different courts.
