The Pakistan Bar Council on Wednesday took serious notice of lawyers' hooliganism outside the courtroom of Lahore High Court Chief Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah over incident of misbehaving with a judge in Multan. PBC vice-chairman Ahsan Bhoon also directed Punjab Bar Council to take stern action against the delinquent lawyers.
He strongly condemned unbecoming conduct of few lawyers who held protest outside the courtroom and tried to influence the court proceedings. Bhoon termed lawyers' act against dignity of the legal profession, saying it may cause serious damage to the entire legal fraternity.
He said hooliganism of lawyers also amounted to deliberate effort to disgrace sacred institution of bench and bar. On August 2, a number of lawyers had gathered outside the courtroom of Chief Justice Mansoor Ali Shah to express solidarity with their colleagues including LHCBA Multan President Sher Zaman Qureshi allegedly involved in attacking courtroom of Justice Muhammad Qasim Khan. They chanted slogans and forcefully entered the courtroom of chief justice. On July 24, Multan LHCBA President Sher Zaman, along with a lawyer, misbehaved with Justice Muhammad Qasim.
