Show Cause; Lawyer issued notice

LAHORE: A two-judge bench of the Supreme Court on Monday issued a show-cause notice to a lawyer for interfering in court’s proceedings on a service matter. The bench, consisting of Justice Mian Saqib Nisar and Justice Iqbal Hameedur Rehman, was hearing the matter when Advocate Amjad Ali tried to make an argument. Asked if he had the licence to practice before the SC, the lawyer told the bench that he had been recently enrolled as an advocate to practice before district courts. The bench then issued him a show-cause notice.
