Lawyers' bodies to approach SJC to dig into audio leak issue

The Pakistan Bar Council (PBC) has decided to approach the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) for digging into the issue of the audio leak 

Vice Chairman of Pakistan of Bar Council Hasan Raza Pasha told the media outside the Supreme Court, that bar councils reps at a meeting decided to file references in the SJC over the judge's audio leak next week.

All bar councils are on the same page, he said adding that six references will be filed in the SJC.

He demanded the government withdraw the review appeal on the decision against the reference on Justice Qazi Faiz Isa, saying that it had "malicious" intent.

Pasha said that they had urged the top court to investigate the audio leaks. However, he added, they decided to file the complaint as they did not get any response from the apex court.

He said that the resolution for the protection of lawyers was also approved whereas a motion to amend the SJC rules was also endorsed during the meeting.
