I intend to challenge the current enrollment process for becoming an Advocate of the Supreme Court.
The current process is discriminatory, limits access, makes SC litigation more expensive for ordinary citizens and is a relic of the past. It only serves the interests of those who wish SC litigation work to remain with a smaller group (of generally older lawyers) and for having a limited electoral college for Supreme Court Bar elections.
Like in many countries, once enrolled as High Court lawyers, there should be no restriction on rights of audience before superior courts. Many younger lawyers can (and will) prove to be much better (and better prepared) and less expensive SC litigators. The recent live SC proceedings show the need for this.
Open to thoughts, suggestions and support re this. @theqanoondan@courtingthelaw
As a lawyer, in times of lawlessness I'd say, lucky are those who get arrested & are produced before the Magistrate court the next day as per law
2 lawyers, @HniaziISF & @AdvHaiderMajeed were arrested on 13 August 2023.
9th day, no sign of production before any competent court
judges must be free from all kinds of human weaknesses, why otherwise wd people trust u with matters of life and death. Even When you sentence them to death, they die without protesting! But why should people trust you if you have a conflict of your own?
