Meantime, the lawyers are continuously on strike in the entire Punjab province including Lahore on call by Punjab Bar Council.
It should be mentioned here that the lawyers and judges were locked in a dispute over the transfer of Zawwar Sheikh for four months and the issue aggravated for past six days.
The LHC, in a bid to diffuse the standoff, appointed Sohail Nasir to replace Zawwar Ahmed Sheikh.
Punjab Bar Council demanded strict action against police personnel involved in torture on the lawyers; otherwise, the spate of protest will continue.
