Lahore High Court declares Eid ul Adha holidays
The Lahore High Court (LHC) has officially declared a three-day holiday period for Eid-ul-Adha, effective across all courts in the province.
According to a notification, the LHC and civil, district, and session courts will observe holidays from June 17 to June 19.
Chief Justice Malik Shahzad Ahmad Khan approved the announcement, which aligns with the federal government’s earlier notification declaring Eid-ul-Adha holidays from June 17 to June 19, as approved by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
Practically, the holidays will begin on June 15, as most government offices and educational institutions are closed on Saturdays and Sundays. This arrangement results in five consecutive holidays for many workers and students.
Additionally, provincial governments in Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the State Bank of Pakistan have announced Eid holidays on the same schedule, ensuring uniformity across the country.
The extended holiday period aims to facilitate the observance of Eid-ul-Adha festivities, giving citizens ample time to participate in religious and familial activities.
