ATC hands 18-year term to lawyer for attacking judge
2019-05-25
[DAWN] FAISALABAD: After an anti terrorism court handed down 18-year sentence to a lawyer who had injured a civil judge during proceedings of a case in Jaranwala, his colleagues vent their anger by jolting and kicking the main door of the ATC before locking it down forcibly on Thursday.

The ATC judge, Muhammad Khalil Naz, announcing the decision handed down 18-year imprisonment collectively to the accused lawyer, Imran Manj, under section 7 of the Anti Terrorism Act (ATA), 324 and other sections of the Pakistain Penal Code (PPC).

On being informed of the decision, a group of lawyers led by the Faisalabad
...formerly known as Lyallpur, the third largest metropolis in Pakistain, the second largest in Punjab after Lahore. It is named after some Arab because the Paks didn't have anybody notable of their own to name it after...
Bar Association president, Naveed Mukhtar, gathered outside the ATC and rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud against the verdict.

Sensing the situation, the police guards of the court went inside the building and locked it to avoid wrath of the lawyers. However,

after kicking and jolting the door the lawyers locked it from outside and returned to the bar.
