Lawyers on Saturday attacked the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) office in Islamabad while trying to lodge a case against the local administration for not allowing them to build chambers near the police station in Margalla.

The local administration had barred lawyers from building chambers in the vicinity of the Margalla police station terming it as encroachment. The lawyers approached the SSP office demanding registration of a case against the local officials and exchanged harsh words with SP Captain Liqat and and attacked him and his body guard.

However, the other policemen controlled the situation and sent the lawyers out of the SSP office. No further action has been taken in this regard.

Saif M | 13 years ago | Reply Wasn't it the Chief Justice of Lahore High Court who, addressing the lawyers recently, asked them to keep "their horses ready and swords unsheathed"? So, that's exactly what the lawyers are doing.
Kashif Khan | 13 years ago | Reply They want chambers in Margalla and are ready to disrupt law and order for it, while the common man gets robbed and murdered in broad daylight, waiting for his basic right of Justice.
