Lawyers’ protest in Faisalabad for the formation of a high court bench in the city entered second day on Thursday suspending all court proceedings.

A large number of lawyers from the Faisalabad District Bar Association staged a sit-in at the District Council Roundabout, chanting slogans and carrying placards and banners demanding the formation of the high court bench in their city.

The protest began on Wednesday when hundreds of lawyers ransacked the court premises.

On the other hand, all judges have gone on a three-day leave in the wake of the violent protests, suspending court proceedings.
