| Assault on lawyer |
| 2015-05-14 |
| [DAWN] A lawyer, along with his henchmen, thrashed a colleague in the court of District Coordination Officer Saqib Manan during arguments in a revenue case hearing. The DCO went into his retiring room and avoided to take any action against the lawyer (who belongs to the ruling party). Although lawyers observed black day on Tuesday, Rana Muhammad Hanif and Syed Qaiser Gilani and their opponent Mohsin Sherazi appeared before the DCO in a revenue case. During the course of arguments, Sherazi lost temper and along with his guards thrashed Hanif. The injured lawyer took refuge in the Bar room and requested his colleagues to help him. Initially, the lawyers condemned both sides for turning up in court in violation of a decision to boycott courts. Later, they hit out at Sherazi for mercilessly beating a lawyer. |
