Islamabad: The Islamabad Bar Council (IBC) has written a letter to the Chief Commissioner of Islamabad asking him to stop the staff of hotels and restaurants in the capital from wearing black coats and trousers as it would make them look like lawyers.
Noble legal profession
Mirza Muhammad Amin Tahir, Secretary of the Bar, in a letter addressed to Chief Commissioner of Islamabad said: “The staff of some hotels/restaurants/marriage halls are wearing a uniform similar to the lawyers and honorable judges which is against the dignity of the Noble Legal Profession.”
Even law graduate not allowed black uniform
ISLAMABAD: The Ministry of Law and Justice is at loggerheads with the Capital Development Authority (CDA) over the appointment of a known activist of the ruling PTI as a legal adviser of the civic agency.
In contradiction to its own policy, the law ministry recommended the name of Shahid Naseem Tahir Gondal for the post of CDA legal adviser but also rejected the summary moved by the civic agency containing the names of three eminent lawyers for the same position.
Earlier this month, CDA had forwarded a summary to the law ministry, seeking the “appointment of a legal adviser in the CDA”.
