LAHORE:
The relation between bar and bench at Faisalabad courts has hit a new low as the judges were not ready to compromise on humiliation of one of their colleague at the hands of lawyers.
Reportedly, the lawyers believed the fault was at judge’s side who misconstrued the facts and got registered an FIR against a lawyer who was being stated by the judges as an alleged “assailant”.
Sources claimed that representatives of Punjab Bar Council (PbBC) and other bar councils met thrice with Lahore High Court (LHC)’s Chief Justice (CJ) Muhammad Ameer Bhatti to get resolved the matter but the lawyers could not succeed in convincing the LHC CJ over the misconduct of a PbBC member with the civil judge.
