Lawyers group claims SCBA ‘chasing vested interests’

LBA Presidentspoke against the conduct of the SCBA’s representatives

LAHORE:

Members of the Professional Group of Lawyers led by Hamid Khan, on Thursday strongly opposed the role of the present cabinet of the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) and claimed that the body has vested political interests.

Addressing a press conference at the Lahore High Court (LHC), former representatives of Lahore High Court Bar Association (LHCBA), along with Lahore Bar Association (LBA)’s president Rao Sami, spoke against the conduct of the SCBA’s representatives accusing them of “following a specific political party’s agenda rather than rendering its [SCBA] due role”. Former LHCBA president Maqsood Buttar said it has been observed that Bar representatives are following a political party’s interests- forgoing the cause and the purpose for which they are elected.
