RAWALPINDI: Thousands of litigants on Monday face worst kind of difficulties as lawyers associated with the Rawalpindi Bar Association (RBA) and Islamabad Bar Association (IBA) have gone on strike against establishment of model courts.The litigants in the lower courts of Rawalpindi and Islamabad have seen hearings of hundreds of cases including high profile cases stopped owing to an ongoing strike by lawyers in this regard.The lawyers of Rawalpindi Bar Association (RBA) were already on strike for a couple of days against judges’ attitude. There was a big tension between RBA lawyers and judges as lawyers demanded to immediately suspend District and Sessions Judge (DSJ) Rana Masood and Civil Judge Shugufta Sabir who had awarded two months jail against a senior judge in contempt of court case.The poor litigants were like a rolling stone wandering here and there in search of lawyers to appear in courts but in vain. As a result, all cases including high profile cases in lower courts have had to be adjourned without any hearings.Lawyers of RBA will not appear in courts next two days Tuesday and Wednesday. The RBA President Syed Tanvir Sohail told ‘The News’ that they have observed strike on the directions of PBC against establishment of model courts.
