They boycotted the court proceedings after 10:30 am and confined themselves to the Bar room where President District Bar Association Athar Bukhari paid rich tribute to Amir Cheema and called him 'Ghazi Ilam Din of 21st Century'.

The meeting offered dua for the departed soul of Amir Cheema and demanded of the government to take up the issue of Amir's killing with the German government.
