Lawyers' Convention Demands Supreme Court Action

A recent lawyers' convention held on Saturday called for the establishment of a full court of the Supreme Court to address concerns regarding alleged interference in the affairs of Islamabad's district and high courts by operatives of the country's spy agencies. The convention, in a strongly worded statement released following the meeting, also denounced the purported persecution of lawyers in Punjab. The lawyers demanded the immediate dismissal of what they described as 'baseless and fabricated' cases brought against them, as well as the release of those who had been arrested.

The call for a full court of the Supreme Court to hear a suo motu case on the alleged meddling in the judicial system highlights the growing tensions between legal professionals and government agencies in the country. The lawyers' convention serves as a platform for legal practitioners to voice their concerns and advocate for the protection of their rights and independence.

The lawyers' convention's demand for a full court of the Supreme Court to address the alleged interference in the judiciary underscores the importance of upholding the rule of law and ensuring the independence of the legal system. The legal community's united stance against perceived injustices reflects their commitment to safeguarding the principles of justice and fairness in the face of challenges.
