Lawyers’ high-handedness: Judges on strike

LAHORE: The civil judges at Aiwan-e-Adl boycotted the courts on Tuesday to protest against an attack on a colleague by the lawyers. The judges called a strike after some angry lawyers forced Civil Judge Saifullah and locked it. They also thrashed him and used abusive language on his refusal to adjourn a case against the Lahore Development Authority.
