On Monday, the Lahore High Court (LHC) announced a six-week summer vacation for its judges, effective from July 1 to August 31, 2024.

All regional benches, including the main bench, will be closed during this period. Despite the vacation, the court will continue to hear urgent cases such as bail applications, stay orders, and habeas corpus pleas.

Normal proceedings for all other categories of cases will resume on September 1, 2024, following the conclusion of the summer vacation.

This announcement follows a similar decision by Punjab’s education ministry to start school vacations earlier than previously scheduled due to the ongoing heatwave.

Additionally, the Punjab School Education Department (SED) has imposed a province-wide ban on summer school camps in all public and private schools.

The SED emphasized that no private school can conduct a summer camp without official approval and departmental notification.

These measures are part of broader efforts to ensure the well-being of judges, students, and school staff during the intense summer heat, prioritizing health and safety amid challenging weather conditions.
