SHEIKHUPURA: Ferozewala courts remained closed for the fourth day in a row on Monday due to the disruption caused by the lawyers.

According to sources, the lawyers acted violently and locked the gates of the courts on Monday and did not allow the judges to hear the routine cases.

In a bid to hear the pending cases and ease the difficulties of the people who have business with the court, the judges have moved the proceedings of Ferozewalah kutchery to the session courts in Sheikhupura.
