SBCA issued notice on 'harassing' female lawyer

The Sindh High Court has issued notices to the Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA) officials and other parties on a petition against harassment of a female lawyer, a resident of Nazimabad, by the SBCA.

The petitioner's lawyer submitted that the female lawyer provides legal advice to people at home.

The SBCA officials terming it illegal to run a business of giving legal advice on residential property took extremely harsh measures and started harassing her. The said officials broke the door of the female lawyer's house without notice. The SBCA officials should be stopped from harassing the petitioner, the consul urged the court. The court issued notices to the SBCA officials and other parties and adjourned the hearing until after summer vacations.
