LAHORE: The legal fraternity on Saturday observed a strike against conviction of a bar member in contempt of court. They demanded the Lahore High Court to withdraw the conviction of Advocate Rana Muhammad Asif.

The Punjab Bar Council (PBC) also held its general house meeting outside the court of Justice Malik Shahzad Ahmad Khan and announced a complete boycott of his court till the conviction of the lawyer was not set aside and announced social boycott of the judge also.

Speaking on the occasion, the lawyers said the growing incidents of judges’ misbehaviour toward the lawyers in the courts had been causing apprehensions among the legal fraternity.

The lawyers said they would continue the boycott of courts on December 5.

Strike is not a good strategy. Make sure to bring the illegal and unconstitutional order and judgment in accountibliy forum. Bring direct compliant under section 219 ppc against those judges who pass judgment or order by ignoring evidence and law and twisting the facts. This kind of strategy will very useful for Bar and for justice system.Basicslly Bar association and counsel are very much responsible for corruption in judiciary because Bar aren't taking notice of corrupt judges only become aggrieved when influenced advocate refused extra ordinary relief by judges.
