LHC regional benches: Lawyers continue to shut district courts in Gujranwala
The closure of courts has disrupted the judicial system.
GUJRANWALA (Dunya News) – The lawyers on Saturday have continued to shut district courts on consecutive fourth day in Gujranwala and demanded to form Lahore High Court (LHC) regional benches.
The closure of courts has badly disrupted the judicial system as more than 8000 cases were not heard in these four days.
On November 14, scores of enraged lawyers had demonstrated protest across the Punjab, demanding to form high court benches.
The agitated lawyers stormed office of Deputy Commissioner Sardar Saifullah Dogar who was chairing a session at that time.
Earlier, lawyers staged a march, while holding placards and banners, towards the LHC chief justice’s courtroom despite being stopped by the police personnel.
They raised slogans for establishment of LHC regional benches and also warned to shut the district courts if the demand was not met.
