LHC juge concerned at torture of staff: Expressing concern over torture of an additional session judge’s staff by lawyers, Justice Kazmi Raza Shamis of the Lahore High Court has observed that men of the ‘lower classes’ like barbers, cobblers and laundrymen are seemed wearing black coats. Justice Shamsi has also remarked that unfortunately lawyers first do torture on courts’ staff and then come to courts for justice.
The Judge gave these remarks while hearing petitions filed against orders announced by additional district and sessions judge Shahida Saeed on a number of applications seeking registration of FIRs.
Advocate Mansoor Rehman Afridi appeared in the court on behalf of the petitioners and contended that the lady judge passed orders on the applications seeking registration of FIRs and later, on the pressure of the bar representatives changed the orders. The lawyer contended that the judge had no jurisdiction to review her orders.
On it, Justice Shamsi remarked that the legal profession was very sacred but some elements had been defaming it.
The judge endorsed a saying of a former chief justice that court’s staff should be equipped with clubs for their protection and left the court for his chamber without deciding the petitions.
