KP Bar Council: PHC moved to seek representation for lawyers of merged districts
PESHAWAR: Hearing a writ petition seeking representation for lawyers from merged districts in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Bar Council, the Peshawar High Court (PHC) on Wednesday asked the federal and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa governments to submit their comment in the case.
The two-member bench consisting of Justice Ikramullah and Justice Ijaz Anwar also directed the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Bar Council and Pakistan Bar Council to submit their reply in this case.
Fawad Afzal Khan Safi Advocate filed the writ petition through Noor Alam Khan Advocate, seeking representation for the lawyers of merged tribal districts in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Bar Council.
The bench was informed that after the 25th Amendment to the Constitution the tribal areas adjacent to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were merged into the province. After the merger the former tribal areas have been given constitutional status and, however, the lawyers from these tribal districts were still deprived of representation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Bar Council. The court asked the respondents to submit their replies and comments at the next hearing of this case.
