The Lahore high court on Monday issued stay order against converting former finance minister Ishaq Dar's Lahore's house into a shelter home.

During the hearing, the court has issued a restraining order and sought a reply from the provincial government in ten days, local media reported.

In a plea, the plaintiff has adopted the stance that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders are being subjected to political revenge. The Punjab government's move is against the constitution and law.

On Friday, the Punjab government had converted Dar's house in Gulberg into a shelter home. The shelter home has been set up for 40 people. Metalbunkbeds with separate rooms were set up for women with each room air-conditioned.
