After barging into the Islamabad High Court building and rioting outside the chief justice s chambers, lawyers on Monday presented six demands including reconstruction of chambers as well as compensation.
Earlier today, lawyers wreaked havoc on the IHC building as they protested the demolition of their chambers by the Capital Development Authority on Tuesday night.
They barged into the Chief Justice Block, broke windows and shouted slogans against IHC CJ Athar Minallah outside his chamber, trapping him inside. The IHC top judge was inside his chamber at the time, however, special security police troops were not present when the lawyers entered the block and arrived much later.
