The Karachi Bar Association has already cancelled the membership of Attorney General Anwar Mansoor Khan and Law Minister Barrister Farogh Naseem. As the SJC proceedings started, Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) President Aman­ullah Kanrani and other lawyers burnt copies of the references. PROTEST IN QUETTA:Members of Quetta’s legal fraternity staged a protest demonstration at the Balochistan High Court (BHC) against the reference. Balochistan Bar Council Executive Committee Chairman Advocate Rahib Buledi, BHC Bar Association (BHCBA) President Shah Muhammad Jatoi, and other prominent lawyers participated in the protest, demanding the government withdraw the reference against Justice Isa. Earlier this week, the bar councils — including the PBC, PbBC, Sindh Bar Council, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Bar Council, Balochistan Bar Council and Islamabad Bar Council — unanimously demanded the withdrawal of the references since they were based on mala fide intentions and were filed without adhering to the mandatory provisions of relevant laws.
