PESHAWAR: Peshawar High Court Bar Association has expressed concerns over the Supreme Court order, which restrained Justice Qazi Faez Isa from hearing any case against Prime Minister Imran Khan, and demanded that the restriction should be removed.
In a statement issued here on Monday, Peshawar High Court Bar Association president Khalid Anwar Afridi called upon the Chief Justice of Pakistan and rest of the judges of Supreme Court to put an end to exercise of quelling the voice of other judges, who disagreed with them, for sake of maintaining independence of the judiciary.

‘FROM US WHITE HOUSE TO NUT HOUSE – ONLY ONE STEP’
Will Trump attend Biden’s inauguration?
“Will you attend Biden’s inauguration?” Fox TV interviewer.
To that Trump gave what to me was the expected reply. “Don’t ask me about that.” It is doubtful if any American journalist would write what I am about to publish. But, I am convinced that Trump will not attend the inauguration. The reason is simple. His presence will amount to admitting the defeat which his now deranged mind would never allow – even if he lives a thousand years.
