The Lahore High Court (LHC) has revised its previously announced Eid-ul-Azha holiday schedule for courts across Punjab. The updated notification includes an additional holiday compared to the earlier plan.
According to the official update issued on May 21, the LHC has now confirmed that Eid holidays will be observed from May 26 to May 28. This replaces the earlier schedule, which had announced holidays only on May 27 and May 28.
The revised decision applies to the main LHC principal seat in Lahore as well as all its benches. These include courts located in Bahawalpur, Multan, and Rawalpindi.
The LHC also clarified that civil and sessions courts across Punjab will follow the same revised holiday timetable. All judicial operations will remain closed during this period.
Officials stated that the decision was made with the approval of the Chief Justice of the Lahore High Court. The revised notification partially modifies an earlier order issued on December 23, 2025.
The LHC emphasized that the updated schedule is meant to ensure uniform holiday observance across all judicial offices in Punjab. This will help streamline court operations before and after the Eid break.
Legal professionals and court staff have been informed about the new schedule. The administration has directed all relevant departments to adjust case hearings accordingly.
With the revised announcement, the LHC has ensured that no confusion remains regarding court closures during the Eid-ul-Azha period. The updated schedule is expected to help lawyers, litigants, and staff plan their activities in advance.
The LHC regularly issues holiday notifications for major religious and national events. These updates are implemented across all subordinate courts to maintain consistency in the judicial system.
According to court officials, routine judicial work will resume immediately after the Eid-ul-Azha holidays end on May 28. All pending cases will be scheduled for hearings from the next working day.
