The certificate of Muhammad Farogh Naseem to practice as an advocate was restored by Pakistan Bar Council on 28-11-2019, after he resigned from the office of federal minister for law & justice and submitted his application for restoration.

But since, subsequently, he has again re-joined the federal cabinet as minister for law & justice, his certificate to practice as an advocate again stands suspended by operation of law and as such he is not entitled, under the law, to practice as an advocate unless he gets his certificate restored after leaving the said office and applies to Pakistan Bar Council for restoration, said the PBC statement issued by its secretary on Monday.
