LAHORE:
The Lahore High Court gave last chance on Thursday to three lawyers accused of manhandling an additional district and sessions judge. A full bench headed by Justice Kazim Raza Shamsi directed the three suspects to submit their replies and adjourned the hearing for one week. Barrister Ehtesham Ameeruddin, Mehar Ahsan and Inam are facing charges of disrupting the decorum of court, getting infuriated with a judge, chasing him to his retiring room and manhandling him during a hearing at the sessions court. On the complaint of Additional District and Sessions Judge Irfan Anjum, Islamapura police had booked the lawyers under criminal charges, including terrorism clauses.
