FAISALABAD: An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Faisalabad on Thursday sentenced a lawyer to five years imprisonment for attacking a civil judge.
Advocate Manj had thrown a chair at senior civil judge Khalid Mahmood Warraich on April 25 during the hearing of a case in Jaranwala.
The judge had received head injury in the attack.
Advocate Imran Manj was arrested after the judges went on strike against the attack.
The ATC also imposed a fine of Rs250,000.
On the other hand, lawyers have decided to protest against the decision while Punjab Bar Council will hold strike on Friday.
