Jailed lawyer elected President of IHC Bar

A lawyer currently in jail and facing charges of storming the Islamabad High Court (IHC) building has been elected President of Islamabad High Court (IHC) Bar Association for the year 2021-22.

The victory of a ‘troublemaker’ advocate to the top slot of the Bar indicates that the current lawyers-judges differences are not going to resolve in the coming days as both the sides are sticking to their stance.

The newly-elected president Zahid Mehmood Raja has won against Naveed Hayat Malik who is also in jail facing the similar charges.
