Lawyers of Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday observed a strike against attack on Prime Minister House, President House and Parliament House by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) protestors and police attack on journalists.
On the call of Pakistan Bar Council (PBC) and Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA), the lawyers in IHC boycotted court proceedings against yesterday’s attack on state buildings by PTI and PAT protestors.
The lawyers did not attend case hearings in any of the court. The lawyers claimed that they would take to the streets if any unconstitutional or unlawful steps are taken in Islamabad.
Several cases have been postponed without any court proceedings as the lawyers stayed away from the courts. All those waiting for the case hearings are suffering a great deal.
