Lawyers Boycott Oath Taking Ceremony of Chief Judge of Gilgit Baltistan
When the newly appointed chief judge of Supreme Appellate Court Gilgit-Baltistan, Justice Dr Rana Shamim Ahmad Khan took oath of his office, the oath taking ceremony was boycotted by the GB Supreme Appellate Bar Association, GB Bar Council, Chief Court Bar Association and district bar associations to lodge their protest against appointment of non-local judges in Gilgit-Baltistan, which they say is unconstitutional. The GB High Court Bar Association also suspended the membership of its four senior members for attending the ceremony.
