LARKANA: A group of lawyers led by vice president of High Court Bar Association have opposed inviting PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz to address the bar during her scheduled visit to Garhi Khuda Bux Bhutto on Dec 27 and urged Sindh High Court registrar to cancel the invitation “to avoid complications”.
HCBA vice president Mazhar Ali Mangan and senior advocate Qadir Bakhsh Bhatti said at a press conference at local press club on Thursday that the bar’s general secretary Ashfaque Abro had extended the invitation without taking into confidence general body. The invitation to Maryam Nawaz to address the bar was against by-laws and rules, hence it should be withdrawn or cancelled, they said.

Prison plot whiff in Babar Qadri s murder The September killing of the 40-year-old had kicked up a storm, more so because pro-India and pro-azaadi voices used to dub him an agent of the other side
Jammu and Kashmir police have arrested three men in connection with the murder of lawyer Babar Qadri, the investigations revealing that the conspiracy to kill him might have been hatched in Srinagar central jail.
Police sources said two prisoners lodged at the jail were being questioned following a tip-off by three Srinagar youths arrested recently in connection with Qadri’s killing.
The September killing of Qadri, 40, a frequent participant in TV debates, had kicked up a storm, more so because pro-India and pro-azaadi voices used to dub him an agent of the other side. He was a strong advocate of azaadi but faced criticism from the camp for fiercely opposing Hurriyat hawk Syed Ali Shah Ge
Before we discuss the judicial overreach into freedom of speech and expression, which is a constitutional right, let us pause to recall that the Constitution is a document that starts with “We the people” and ends with “ in our Constituent Assembly this day of November 1949 do hereby adopt, enact and give to ourselves this Constitution .…”, meaning that it is the people who gave themselves this Constitution. It is the people who, in the democracy called India, have given themselves the right to unequivocally express themselves if they feel passionately about an issue.
Then is it not mandatory that the three organs of the government, while trying to maintain a system of checks and balances, do not lose sight of the fact that they are answerable to the people? Can they indulge in a game of one-upmanship and lose sight of the fact that they are here to serve the interests of the people? Though there are no definite provisions acknowledging the separation of powers in an absol
A principal sessions judge in Srinagar has passed an order complaining that a high court judge obstructed him from granting bail to an individual, kicking up a controversy over the judiciary’s functioning in post-370 Kashmir.
In the order, judge Abdul Rashid Malik recused himself from hearing a plea for anticipatory bail from Srinagar resident Sheikh Salman, saying Justice Javid Iqbal Wani had directed him, through a phone call by his secretary, not to grant bail to Sheikh.
Sheikh faces several charges including attempt to murder.
Several lawyers in Srinagar told The Telegraph that Malik’s order was unprecedented and appeared to support allegations about senior judges and the executive increasingly interfering in the functioning of the lower courts.
