During a heated argument in a Jaranwala court on April 25, Advocate Imran Manj had hit the senior civil judge Khalid Mahmood Warriach with a chair.
Islamabad (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 23rd May, 2019) An Anti Terrorism Court in Faisalabad sentenced a lawyer to 18 years and six months in jail for smashing a civil judge with a chair.
Besides the imprisonment, the ATC also fined him with Rs250,000.
During a heated argument in a Jaranwala court on April 25, Advocate Imran Manj had hit the senior civil judge Khalid Mahmood Warriach with a chair.
The civil judge had sustained a head injury in the attack. He was immediately shifted to the Tehsil Headquarters Hospital (THQ) for medical treatment.
After the judges protested against the attack, the police arrested advocate Imran.
A case was filed against him in the ATC.
The lawyers are often seen resorting to violence as several reports of their hooliganism keep coming in.
Earlier, some lawyers had allegedly thrashed a warden and an assistant warden for trying to issue them a challan over the violation of traffic rules.
The traffic wardens had attempted to stop the lawyers who were using mobile phone while driving without seatbelt upon which the lawyers resisted. This had led to an exchange of barbs between them, with the lawyers eventually beating the traffic wardens.
