The Chief Justice of the High Court asked the Punjab Government that what was the need for it? "Why were the elections got conducted if such decisions are to be taken that the powers of the government should be given to one person?" asked the Chief Justice of the High Court. The Punjab Government said the petitioners reached the court when the government had completed almost all formalities. After hearing the arguments of both parties, the High Court reprimanded the Punjab Government and said the government "has not spent even a single rupee".
