And when he quit practicing law, it was not for the health or old age reasons, as he so confided in @RokhanShafi that "My ability to learn more has diminished and it would be grave injustice to the profession and myself if i continue".
Rest in peace Barrister sb.
سابق سینیٹر اوررہبر تحریک عبدالولی خان بابا کے قریبی ساتھی بیرسٹر ظہورالحق کی وفات پر گہرا دکھ ہوا ۔انکی شخصیت تقریبا ایک صدی کے نشیب، فراز پر محیط تھی۔آئین وقانون کی عملداری کیلئے انکی خدمات کو ہمیشہ یاد رکھا جائے گا۔ خدا جنت الفردوس میں اعلی مقام دے اور لواحقین کو صبر دیں۔
The death of Barrister Zahoor-Ul-Haq is the end of an era in legal profession. He was one of the most brilliant lawyers. In 1990s, during legal practice at Peshawar Court I had the opportunity to learn from him and enjoy his wit and fine humour. May his soul soul rest in peace.
Deeply saddened to learn of the passing away of Barrister Zahoor-Ul-Haq. His stature and standing in the legal profession is a testament to his stature as a brilliant lawyer. Our condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.

When judges were violating oaths, scheming with generals, promoting 1 politico & jailing others; we had to wear blinkers & pretend this is rule of law.
Then generals switched sides but didn’t take judges along; so now we have to pretend judges stand for constitutionalism. 😂
