Bench-bar relations: Judge denies his colleague had humiliated lawyers

He was responding to condemnation by some Lahore Bar Association representatives who had accused the judge of humiliating lawyers during a hearing.

Justice Malik told lawyers at Aiwan-i-Adl the newspaper that had published the news about the alleged remarks had been asked to publish a clarification. He said courts could not function in the absence of lawyers. The bench and bar should respect each other, he said.
