Lahore High Court (LHC) judge Justice Manzoor Ahmed Malik on Saturday said that the lawyers had great respect for judges because verdicts were made on merit, not favor.
Addressing the concluding ceremony of a capacity building course for female civil judges in Punjab Judicial Academy, he said that litigant public had great expectations from the legal profession.
He said that gender of lawyers should not restrict them from pursing justice and women should stand shoulder-to-shoulder with men to perform their obligations to the society.
He further said that the general impression that female judges had no command over constitutional law must be rectified and it could only be done so if female judges proved themselves capable.
