According to sources, the suspension was approved during the SCBA Executive Committee meeting. They said Mansoor misused his position in violation of the association's rules, adding that he had previously been warned.
Salman Mansoor had filed a constitutional petition against the 26th Constitutional Amendment in his capacity as secretary without obtaining the necessary approval.
